Wotton Blues Festival: Workshops

Ben Hewlett: Harmonica 1 - 2pm

Ben will be teaching an easy-to-learn 12-bar blues with all of its own shuffles and licks. Please bring your own harmonica (10 hole) or you can buy one on the day at the workshop, or in advance from www.sonnyboysmusicstore.co.uk.

Steve Page: Slide Guitar 2.30 - 3.30pm

Steve’s workshops are always popular, and he’ll introduce you to the more traditional ways of playing the blues. Slide guitar is at the heart of the blues sound. This is a workshop is for “slide curious” blues guitarists!

What to bring with you: an acoustic guitar, a slide – but I will bring spares, thumb-pick (optional), a tuner (optional) and maybe some spare strings if the strings on your guitar are a bit elderly.

Tim Hughes: 120 Years of the Blues 4 - 5pm
