“Referencing the big sound of ‘40s & ‘50s R&B guitar, this workshop will give a fresh perspective on how to add drive, style and invention to the modern Blues guitarist’s canon of licks. The course gives tips to hone your own playing including a nod to the likes of T-Bone Walker, Bill Jennings, Charlie Christian and BB King plus many lesser known but equally distinctive players. Studying these past masters will help to uncover a treasure trove of ideas for today’s guitarists.”

“Bristol Jazz and Blues Festival have teamed up with Bristol Academy of Creative Music to provide a range of music workshops. Come and join Bristol-based jazz singer and BACM tutor Lucy Moon for an introduction to incorporating jazz phrasing into your voice. We’ll be exploring simple and wonderfully effective tools to shake up the delivery of a song and transform it into something unique to yourself. We’ll also work on expanding your vocal communication with the instruments on stage in order to lock in with the rhythm section and work together as one machine. Suitable for singers of all levels.”

“Bathe in the sounds of sacred music artists: Kamala (Elise Yuill Cohen & Charlie Bishop) and Josie Wildgoose. Live hang drum, harmonies and soothing vibrations of Kamala’s unique mantra and kirtan music, from their forth-coming album (due for release Spring 2020). They will share a sound healing journey and mantra songs. Music of the heart that guides you gently towards the deep peace within and the love of the divine, where the vibrations of unity and bliss allow everything else to drop away.”
