Hi folks,

[EDIT: SEE CONFIRMED TIME BELOW]

The good folk at London Harmonicas are to be joined Joe Powers, tango harmonica virtuoso, for a workshop next Monday, 28 June. By the sounds of it, this is a not-to-be-missed masterclass session for anyone who's interested in breaking out from the 12-bar bleurghs. From his bio:

"Harmonica virtuoso, Joe Powers is one of the few Harmonica players in the world to specialize in Tango Music. He was winner of the Belgian Crystal Harmonica Award in the Classical Division (2008) and received 4th place in
Jazz Diatonic, at the World Harmonica Championship in Germany (2005)."

He's both chromatic and diatonic, but I'm told he'll be focusing more on diatonic.

Here's a video:


Where: Torriano Pub, 71-73 Torriano Avenue, London NW5 2SG.
When: Monday 28 June, 8pm-10pm
Why: Because, that's why.


Thanks to: Phil Leiwy and co at London Harmonicas

p.s. if anyone's wondering why the video is so poor, I believe it's because the cameraman is dancing.

Yeah harmonicas in all kinds of music. In every country.

all of the leader playing harmonica LOL

Isn't it amazing just how many great Harmonica players came out of Portland OR?

@Elwood:

Looks fab, I'll be there.

Apparently...

Joe will have discounted Manjis to sell, too. Cash only, about a fiver off the RRP.

I like the way you think.
