Hello once again dear HarmonicaUK member
Can you believe itโs September already?! With our annual festival taking place next month, tickets are selling fast so if you intend to come to this jam-packed weekend full of harmonica workshops and performances, you can buy your tickets here.
Thanks to the wonderful Rachelle Plas for her excellent Saturday Session workshop last month, an entertaining and informative session was enjoyed by the participants. A recording of the session is now available in the members section on the website, alongside previous recorded sessions. You can find a list of the Saturday sessions still to come here.
Donโt forget to check out the Newsdesk section on the website for all the usual news, gigs and tutorials that feature this month. Our Zoom Open Mic will take place on Saturday, September 2 at 5 PM UK time, we hope to catch you all there, and donโt forget every Friday morning at 11 AM UK time our Zoom Coffee Morning - drop in for a chat with the coffee morning regulars for discussion on everything from harmonicas to squirrels!
Carrying on with our recent section introducing people who volunteer for HarmonicaUK, this month we meet the Editorial Team.
Until next time,
