Thanks Dave for letting us know about Russell. I had a few dealings with Russell through the BBMA when he was involved just before he became ill. I remember...
There was an announcement in METRO (the London free paper) that the Acoustic Centre in Wapping high street is to be demolished to make way for some luxury...

Just wondered if you all had seen Rob Newall's review of Sally's SFSS class of 2002 on the sorefingers site. [Non-text portions of this message have been...
... Yep, but I still wonder if anyone as new to the game as me would get anything out of a class with someone of Sally's calibre. I'd like to learn how to do...
Hamish, SFSS 2000 was the first I attended - with Stacy Phillips. I had only just picked up a reso "the wrong way" a few months earlier. I came away enthused...
... Thanks Bill, encouraging to hear that there are likely to be other beginners in the SFSS world! Guess I'll just be forced to change my booking from guitar...
Hi Hamish I think you'll get a lot. For example, Saly spent about half a day on this precise topic, and the class is not geared just to whizzo players. I seem...

Kevin Brown appeared at our blues festival in May - very good bottleneck player and good singer in the traditional, earthy blues style. I was highly impressed....
There's no need to feel intimidated by the standard - I've been playing for a couple of years now and I'm still crap (but that's because I don't practise...
