Step into a world where tradition meets innovation, where old blends seamlessly with new to create something entirely original and electrifying. At Sadler’s Wells, the iconic Paco Peña, accompanied by his talented Paco Peña Dance Company, presents Solera – a captivating production that breathes new life into the timeless art of flamenco. As the evening unfolds, prepare to be mesmerised by a fusion of exceptional music, dance, and passion that transcends boundaries and embodies the essence of human emotions in all their raw beauty. The show opens with a symphony of everyday sounds that seamlessly transform into a vibrant celebration of the human spirit. Take away the traditional red Flamenco dress and imagine you’re in a studio with friends who are just chilling and decide to have a dance. They chat in-between sets, sip water, play on their phones – all normal every day stuff – that plays an insightful and very real backdrop to the magic unfolding in the foreground. From the rhythmic beats of percussionist Julio Alcocer to the exquisite melodies woven by guitars and voices, every moment is a testament to the skill and artistry of the performers.

Cheeky headline aside, nuts are an absolute powerhouse of nutritional benefits and research shows time and time again they’re a great way to look after your heart health. And it’s critical we’re looking after it, because one Australian dies every 12 minutes from cardiovascular disease (CVD), and is a contributing factor to one in four deaths. Incorporating nuts (of all kinds, shapes and sizes – see the innuendo remains strong despite the serious subject matter!) into our daily diet has been shown to lower the risk of developing CVD, as well as decreasing many of the risk factors. With Heart Week coming up on 6-12 May, why not make a health pledge to increase your nut consumption with a daily handful, or even better, one of these great recipes below. If every Australian embraced this practice, not only would we reduce rates of CVD, but we could also contribute to saving Australia close to $1 billion in health care costs every year!
