The long time running London Harps meet-up is continuing to put on the occassional workshop and event. Paul Lamb played for the group last year and just last month American harp player Adam Gussow put on a workshop for delighted fans.
We plan to have some wonderful players appear during 2012 so join us on Facebook and check our blog for updates and to connect with London Harps members. For example, we have just announced that we are hosting an event with American harp legend Joe Filisko in October. So don't miss out if you are in or near London.
On May the 9th at our new home The Blue Posts, we will be putting on a workshop and performance by Steve Wes Weston and Paul Garner. The big toned Mr Weston is a master of Chicago and Swing blues styles and is considered by many as one of the best players in the world. He is not more widely known outside the UK as he has never released an album.

Steve plays everything tongue blocked so players interested in that style and big tone should not miss this chance to hear the man up close and to ask him questions about his approach. Paul is no slouch either on the guitar, blending blues and jazz styles to compliment Steve's playing. Hope to see you there!
Here's a clip of Steve playing in case you're not familar with his music.
