Cigar box guitar workshop and other events

We’ve had a really busy couple of months – travelled to some great festivals, including the Mitchell Creek Rock n Blues Festival just outside Gympie, the Great Southern Blues Festival in Narooma (about 5 hours south of Sydney) and GrottoFest in Marburg Queensland.

 

 

 

 

I played a few tunes at Mitchell Creek. People love the cigar box guitar! Here’s a clip of one of my songs:

I’ll be at the 5th World Forum on Music at Southbank in the Cultural Forecourt on Saturday 23-24 November with my stall. Come and have a jam – and join other musicians, producers, managers, administrators, festival directors, journalists, scholars, educators, facilitators, activists, policy makers and music lovers who will discuss, plan, perform and experience the future of music on this planet: http://worldforumonmusic.org/

 

Get Rooted – a cigar box guitar festival – will be on again at the Royal Mail in Goodna, Brisbane. Come and join other cigar box guitar enthusiasts for a day of music and workshops. Both Moondog Gypsy Blues Band and I will be performing and I’ll also be holding a ‘how-to-play’ cigar box guitar workshop.

My one hour workshop is an introduction to the slide cigar box guitar so bring along your 1, 3, 4 or 6 string instrument and join in the fun (fretted instruments are also welcome – just bring a slide). If you don’t have a cigar box guitar, there will be ones available to play on the day.

Topics covered include:

I’ll be at Woodford again this year from 27 December to 1 January with my cigar box guitars. It’s an amazing festival and I can’t wait to be part of it again!
