Former journo bringing flamenco to Upper Hutt
Ian Sinclair has partied with Rod Stewart, been arrested in Spain by General Francisco Franco’s secret police, and in his sixties has found a new career as a flamenco guitarist.
Best known as an experienced journalist on TV One, he covered more than 2000 stories. A regular on the Holmes Show, he spent periods as a foreign correspondent in areas like Kosovo and Afghanistan.
On Monday, March 22, he will be playing Ian Sinclair – My Secret Life, at Expressions Upper Hutt, combining his love of flamenco with the story of his life and career.
