Hi Paul

Not being a blues player myself, but having aspirations in that direction, I 
bought the Portnoy set that "Hambone" suggested, and it's pretty good.  I 
got it through Amazon.co.uk and it cost about £45 but I think I'm going to 
be coming back in a year's time and telling you that it was money well 
spent.  However, I CAN already play the harmonica (my wife and three cats 
may disagree!) so you might like to look at one of the "beginners'" courses 
first, or at the same time.  No advice is good advice!

Steve Shaw (fellow UK harp-player).
