Welcome to August's Blues News.
** Videos And Acoustic Guitar Blog **
As mentioned in the last email, having bought a new video camera,
a Zoom Q2HD which built to record good audio, with a better camera
than my phone, I've resumed making both live gig videos and my
series of Acoustic Guitar Logs.
Here's a video of Burnt Ice's closing number of our gig at the
Golden Eagle In Southsea. We hope to return there in the Autumn.

intermediate to advanced students, get in touch if interested.

media or even just let me know in a comment on the youtube video
