Hi Rob,
Yeah it is a small world. I know Stoke on Trent (I always get lost there though LOL). Thanks for the comment on the videos but to be honest, they're not the best show case for the band. Would be great if you could catch us live…

Hey Andi,
We definitely gotta get you on Blindman's Blues Forum! I help promote the website. It's worth looking up. Just GOOGLE it. Over 500,000 posts! Please stop by.
Just read your comments re you tube vids - I agree - I cringe when I hear and see ours as they really don't portray the band at all - yeah would like to catch you guys live - have you got any gigs at Newcastle (staffs) blues festival? Be good if you can get to Nantwich. Cheers
Loads of tips! Too many to mention here of course. First of course is to find a make of harp that you are comfortable with and learn that most harp players play in "2nd position" (I'm assuming you know that - I'll explain if you don't - let me know). I play mainly Suzuki Bluesmaster harps - I really like the feel of these harps. Initially the best tip I can give is to practice isolating each note - thereby only getting one sound from each hole, both blow and draw. It's really difficult when you first start as you tend to play 2 or 3 holes at the same time while you are training your "embrochure" - i.e. lip purse. Keep in touch - let me know how you are doing. All the best - Rob

Hi Andi - nice to see further UK contingent. Checked a couple of Rhythm Zoo vids and seems like you work it pretty good. I'm not too far away, across in Stoke on Trent so it's a small world (Blues world even smaller) - nice to connect - Cheers - Rob
