Why I decided to set this blog up.

For many years I have had an interest in Soul music and Jazz and rather late in the game I discovered Blues.

Two years ago, by pure chance, I discovered the Blues Harp (Diatonic Harmonica) as an instrument and plunged into the complex world of learning to play.

I managed to gain a reasonable level of competency and on a couple of rare occasions I actually got to play with some very good musicians! I now have a yearning to expand on this experience and thought about possibly hooking up with other blues orientated musicians. Unfortunately the Internet failed to deliver (or I just wasn't looking in the right places). No matter how hard I tried I couldn't establish any connections with other musicians, there just didn't seem to be anything out there in the Essex area.

No doubt about it, the Blues is a niche genre and the harmonica is a niche instrument.
