Ey up people - its been a while not been on t'internet much at all of late and been busy with work and kids Found a new acoustic teacher at a studio nr Halifax, blow me even a drummer called Steve White teaches there once a month I believe (used to be the drummer for Paul Weller) - but happy I got a new teacher, maybe now I can bloody get somewhere
Anyway, went to see Roger Davies last week, The Yorkshire Songwriter, if you get chance please please go see him, it will be a tenner or so very well spent - and I'm off to see him again in March at the Square Chapel in Halifax for a gig and the launch of 2 of his albums which are being re released
Anyway - has anyone seen a band called The Dana Dixon Band - they are a blues band I think led by one of the UK's best female Harmonica players aswell as one of the best blues guitarists in the UK dave Dixon so I have read??
I got a ticket today to go see them at the Square Chapel in Halifax in March

Hi Phil - good to have you back! Keith Cheers boss like you new shiny 'STAFF' badge Takes a lot of time, effort plus spit and polish to keep it looking that good, but I'm afraid that if I let it get tarnished Martin might take it off me... All the best with your new teacher! Keith

Keith What you mean Martin doesn't have one?? I thought he was your 'mini - me' without the beard Martin has one, of course - he is the main man! What I meant was that he might demote me if I am lax in my badge polishing duties. Lynn has one also, and she is v good at keeping her badge shiny too! Keith

Roger Davies is well worth going to see, saw him last week and he prob played much more than planned as the crowd just yelled for more - so he duly obliged and belted out some more tunes Seen a bit of the Dana Dixon band on YouTube this eve and they.look like a band you can stomp your foot too for sure so look forward to seeing them come march i think they hail out of Scotland but don't quote me

Hi again, Phil. Looks like you've been busy hiya Martin - been busy but done feck all music wise and u feel guilty about it. I got a new.classical.teacher too but i had to put that on hold due to work. The thing is i don't have the time to be able to do both classical and acoustic lessons - and don't think i will for quite a long time now. I think part of my problem is i listen to people play and then i want to learn to play it too, but i just don't have the time. I really need to concentrate on one poss two instruments to learn and get stuck into them. Acoustic is one for sure and i really like the harmonica, but i think if i do that i will learn from YouTube as there seems to be a lack of teachers round here At least now my teacher who is actually my mates brother is pretty passionate with guitar - didn't even know he taught til last week, then i find out he has been a pro musician the past 10yrs and has been all over the world playing.......lucky bugger
