Harmonica Stories

(Press release)

We are now half way through my 4 Zoom lectures taking place on Sunday afternoons throughout January, called Harmonica Stories.
 
I've had incredible feedback and attendance each week so far. Come and join me this Sunday for the next one!

Next up: Toots Thielemans - Sunday 24th Jan 3:00pm GMT

This talk will include...

• clips of my interview with Toots in Leiden from ..1996 - photos of him at CTS Studios, Wembley a year later when we worked together on the film 'Hard Rain' 

• my transcription videos of some of his best solos... where you hear him play and see the notes scroll in front of you - of interest to musicians and non-musicians alike

• the absolutely best edited clips of him playing and talking 

• my interview with Dutch genius keyboard player and arranger Mike del Ferro who arranged for Toots

& more!
