Introduction to Blues Harmonica Workshop is based at Ventnor Arts Club on Thursday 22 October. It begins at 19:30 and is scheduled to finish at 20:30.
Alabama-based musician Radiator Rick Asherson leads this hands-on introduction to blues harmonica. The one-hour workshop is suitable for ages seven and over; beginners can bring a ten-hole harmonica in C or buy a suitable instrument at the event for £5. You leave with a practical starting point instead of spending the hour watching someone else play. Parents can join in with older children, and adult beginners get the same straightforward route into the instrument. Ventnor Arts Club brings cinema, music and conversation into a close High Street setting. The venue works best when the material rewards attention, which gives this event a natural home.
Bring a ten-hole harmonica in C if you own one. Rick can supply a suitable instrument for £5 at the event, which removes the need to shop before trying the workshop. The session runs from 19:30 to 20:30, so it fits a school night better than a full concert. Look through the Island’s live music programme if learning an instrument prompts you to hear more. The age guidance starts at seven; the source gives no separate child price, so use the booking link for ticket choices.
