The blues is a musical genre that originated in the Deep South of the USA by African-Americans. The harmonica has been an integral instrument in blues music due to its rich harmonic structure and subdued intensity.

If you love the sound of blues harmonica but don’t know where to start, this workshop is for you. The humble harmonica is fun, portable and easy to play!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience on the harp (gathering dust in that drawer) and want to learn some new techniques, this workshop with the legendary Captain Bluetongue will have you blowing the blues away.

Your very own blues harmonica will be included in the ticket price.

Instructional CD is available for purchase on the day for $15 (please bring cash).

Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class
