[Harp-L] Subject Re: Laurie Garman, "Laurence"

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Just for the record.....the "Laurie Garman" mentioned in this listing  of the 
Gig list for the NHL in England....is the very same Laurence (tall,  dark 
hair, black leather jacket) many of us met when he recently visited  Buckeye with 
Roger Trobridge and sat in on the late-night Blues  Jams.

10:00am-11:00pm

A day of workshops dedicated  to blues harp tuition.

The workshops will be structured for the  benefit of players ranging from
beginner through to intermediate level  and will cover a range of subjects,
to include: help and guidance for  beginners, developing tone and technique,
improvisation, playing with a  band, using amplification, practising 
tips, etc.

The teaching  team will be:
* Laurie Garman of the "City Shakers", formerly of the  legendary "Yardbirds"
* Paul Gillings of the "Feelgood Factor" and  former World Diatonic Blues 
Harp Champion
* Rob Venables of the  "Bluestate Blues Band"
* Tony Stokes of the "58 De Luxe Blues Band" and  "Paul Cowley and the 
T.T.'s"
* Pete Wheat, accoustic player and  performer

All experienced players, performers, and qualified  harmonica teachers.
In addition, the teachers will be there to offer  help and advice to 
individuals whose
particular concerns are not  fully covered in the workshops. So before you
come, identify your  personal goals, ask what you would like to learn or
achieve in the day.  This event also gives you the chance to spend a day in
the company of  other players and enthusiasts, learning from each other.

After an  evening break we will be joined by the "58 De Luxe" Chicago style
blues  band, hired especially for the occasion, who will host a jam  session,
giving everyone the opportunity of playing with a  band.

So why not join us for what promises to be a rewarding and  enjoyable
experience? Go for it!
