Editor’s Welcome

Dave “Dogfish” Colclough

Welcome dear readers, lots to talk about in this magazine!

With the announcement of two new Ambassadors at the fantastic October Festival and the collaboration with Rockschool there’s plenty to get your teeth into this issue: there are pieces about all the above in this edition. We have new Committee members to welcome and to thank the outgoing team of Davina, Dave, Sam, and of course Pete, who were all awarded certificates at the Festival thanking them for their service. We also have the Chair’s column by the newly installed Barry Elms. Look out for Mike Hatchard’s funny observations of the Festival weekend; Mike was an excellent stand-in for Chris Collis who was unable to attend this year. Well done Mike, and hope you feel better soon Chris. There is so much to absorb, I’m going to let you get on and read it for yourselves! All the best Dave PS Take a look at this cracking picture of the three previous Chairs on stage at the Festival, remember the Frost Report?

Harmonica Joke

Why was the blues harmonica player stuck outside his house all night?

He didn’t know what key to use or when to come in! If you have a joke for the magazine, please send to editor@ harmonica.uk
