Pocklington Euro Blues weekend >2008

[Michael Messer]

Hi everyone,

Just getting a thread started about the Pocklington Euro Blues weekend that takes place in two weeks time - 28th, 29th & 30th November 2008.

The weekend consists of classes and a concert on the Saturday night. Teachers this year are Michael Roach - guitar, Michael Messer - slide guitar, and Peter Wheat - harmonica.

Anyone not interested in classes, but enjoys acoustic blues should come along to the concert.

Pocklington Blues Weekend is always an excellent event; it is a lovely town and the arts centre staff are very hospitable.

Are any forum members going?

Anyone wanting to find out more can ask here, or contact the Pocklington Arts Centre box office.

Here are some prices & details:
The registration fee is £120 (£110 conc) for the weekend. A single day rate for Saturday only is £70 (£65 conc) and includes evening concert followed by the late night jam. The rate for Sunday is £55 (£50 conc). Advance booking is required and all fees are payable to the Pocklington Civic Arts Centre Box Office at [phone].

Shine On
Michael.

Hi, I'll be there for Saturday, booked in last night. Looking forward! ;D

Ah!, sounds very good, but too far away, and currently too expensive.

I hope you all have a good time there.

I will be there. This will be my 6th year! I wouldn't miss my annual Blues pilgrimage to the Yorkshire delta.

If anyone reading this is contemplating going for the first time, I'd say go for it - you won't regret it. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn, mix with like-minded reso-heads and it doesn't matter what level your playing is at.

You never know, if I pluck up enough courage and/or drink enough, I'll play at the Friday night open mic session!

It's a great event and I'm really looking forward to it.

I look forward to it

Shine On

Michael,
Thanks to you and the others in the reso class for another superb weekend. Got some new toons and ideas to spur me on for another 12 months until Pockers 09!

Cheers,
Dom

PS Just ordered a ukelele resonator cone for my next cigar box guitar!!! ;D
