Coming up in just 72 days is the Edinburgh Harmonica Workshop, Scotland’s largest harmonica event. There are some seats still available, so if you were on the fence about coming, now’s the time to act! I’ll be joined by Will Wilde, Liam Alexander Ward and Tomlin Leckie for the concert and jam sessions, with each of us teaching three different subject matter classes during the day over the weekend. For more information visit www.edinburghharmonica.com. I look forward to working with all that can make it.
