Guitar Tuition
This week, I have started guitar lessons. I used to take lessons in the early 1980s and sporadically since then. This time, I am giving tuition to late-starters, young adults who wish they had started earlier in life. Anyone who is determined and interested can contact me >>> see contacts >>> and under Advertisements bottom of menu < extension sub-page.
At the moment, in my capacity as a Songwriter, I am looking for a suitable drummer. There is a bass man working on the songs.

Concerning vinyl LPs. We have a considerable number of vinyl LPs. One day I may well put on a Vinyl special sale. Eyes on this space!!!
2015 marks my 8th year running the market stall. I have added a quantity of vinyl singles, since vinyl is being reconstituted in society in general. Most vinyl L.P.s are available on this website though.

24/05/17. This week, we have a new contact in South Africa. His website is :- www.capemusicinstitute.co.za Camillo Lombard is the main person and a Jazz pianist. A relative of a cricketer friend of mine from late 1990s/early 21st c.
This week, I have been in contact with a drummer from the early days (mid-60s) who spent a while in a British band called the Knack. One of the main musicians of this band was Paul Gurvitz. The Knack and personnel were mentioned in an article by Paul Gurvitz so I FB messaged him and came to the conclusion that he had lost touch with Topper Clay. I linked them on Facebook successfully. I shall be visiting Topper at his nearby club.
I am a member of the A.B.J.M.

16/09/16
I made a visit to one of our local sports clubs where Wokingham Music Club is now well established to catch up with the Acoustic Strawbs. They are in fine fettle but I could only stay for their first set. Dave Cousins is a fine raconteur and the other two, Dave Lambert and Charles Cronk, blend in well with their leader.
