I noticed Stefan Grossman is doing a concert, preceded by a 3 hour workshop in Glasgow next April. I was going to book it, but wondered if anyone has seen him or been to a workshop with him before? Just wondering what to expect.

I haven't seen him but, my goodness, a workshop in Glasgow might well get me down there.
Thanks for posting, Martin.

I have been to one of his workshops and it was good fun and very enjoyable. I remember him as being a nice guy too which helps - of course he is from Brooklyn, New York so there may be a language barrier with you Martin The workshop, in Bolton, was in the afternoon of a concert at night where Lynne and myself were sat at the front and he 'referred' to me once or twice. I'll never forget because there was blind guy at our table with his wife and Stefan came to sit with us at the interval. Whilst he was there the wife of the blind guy explained that her husband was a big Stefan fan and had a bad accident which left him blind and was in a coma for some time - he fell down an old mine shaft whilst running on the moors if I remember correctly. They actually managed to bring him out of the coma by playing Stefan's music in the hospital. Anyway I'm rambling , I would go Martin Cheers Phil

Never been to a workshop of his, but used a good few of his instructional videos/dvds, including some where he was the tutor. Also seen him live, I think three times now. I remember seeing him walking around Edinburgh early one morning on the way in to work. I was filled with a desire to accost him and tell him what a hero he was and how his videos had changed my life.. But instead I just smiled when I passed him.
I'd say go to his workshop. If the vids are anything to go by he's a really good teacher.

Ahem. Of course the date falls on one of my times covering sick leave, etc, and sod's law being what it is...
On the other hand, I've booked off the dates for next years H'fax bash.
Take that Mr Sod!

He has been teaching and running workshops for a long time, so he should be able to run a good one!
BTW, just how many workshops are you intending to go to over the next few months?
:-)
