About this listen

 Time to ruffle your skirts, get your dancing shoes on and listen in, as we welcome Deidre Guthrie to the podcast. Born in Edinburgh, Deidre tells us the thrilling story of how she became Candela Flores, a renowned flamenco dancer in Spain. She tells us about her dance mentor who spotted her talent, as well as her passionate love affair with her guitar-playing accompanist and bull-fighter, Jaime Santos. A go-getting business woman, Deidre has lived all over the world, taking us from the clubs of Madrid, to Mexico to South America after she got involved in the wine trade. Talking to us from her home in Cyprus, she’s still living life to the full having retired from running a guest house and restaurant. She shows us the stunning ruby and pearl necklace gifted to her mother from the ruler of Kuwait and a dramatic black and white charcoal sketch of Mary Queen of Scots, depicting the moment just before she was executed, as well as some earrings from her travels when she was young. Looking back on her remarkable life, she says that everyone should have a dream and work towards it. Hers was to become a flamenco dancer, but she’s also found great satisfaction in writing her recent memoir ‘Becoming Candela.’
