I will also be putting on a Hammond Weekend during this period at my HamLab base in South Yorks.
There will be a live Hammond Band performing on the Saturday evening and a Free Hammond Player Clinic on the Sunday. I just have to confirm the availability of the band and then will post the date on the web site. Malc
We also have some very exciting things planed for Nov / Dec .. watch this space
Looking forward to meeting you at one of the Road-Shows
Hello there,
Well I am just about all packed ready for a few days break sailing around Fowey and St Austell Bay Yeahhhhh !
So.. if anyone is in the West Country over the next few days .... look out for a very pretty Falmouth Bass Boat called Mistress IV (don't ask ! ) and give me a wave.
When I return I have had the honor of being invited to Poland to play a couple of gigs for the Polish Hammond Club.
I am really looking forward to this as the musicians in Poland that I will play with sound very ... very 'Hot' and I hope to get some media for the BLOG whilst I am out there.
On my return to the UK, we are starting our UK road-shows for the Autumn / Winter period so I hope you get to visit us at one of the shows.
The first 3 shows are in Oct and will stat in Edinburgh then to Morecombe and then to Ipswich. I will also be putting on a Hammond Weekend during this period at my HamLab base in South Yorks.
There will be a live Hammond Band performing on the Saturday evening and a Free Hammond Player Clinic on the Sunday. I just have to confirm the availability of the band and then will post the date on the web site.
After this, we have some VERY exciting things happening in Nov... 'Watch This Space'
Let me know if you are interested in coming as the last time we did this seats were at a premium.
Thats all for now and don't forget to try your best to visit Barrie and myself at on of the shows.
Cheers
Malc

Josh Phillips of Procul Harum with his new Hammond and Leslie
I had a great afternoon with Josh Phillips at the HamLab recently.
As you may know, Josh is the Hammond (and other keyboards) player in Procol Harum.
Josh has being playing Hammond for many years and as well as his Procol Harum connections he has also played with many of the greatest bands and musicians around including the legendary 'Arthur Brown' and currently can be seen with the Jones Gang featuring the incredible drums of Kenny Jones !
We had a great few hours playing around with the various Hammond Leslie options and had a bit of fun jammin' together on a B-3 and Pro system. Eventually we both came to the conclusion that a Pro XK-System on a wooden B-3 style stand with the new Leslie 2101 MK2 was going to do the job nicely.
My quote of the decade comes from Josh ... When asked how important Hammond Organs are to him as a musician he replied ... "As important as OXYGEN" cooooooool !
So the dosh was exchanged and 2 days later his new rig could be seen and heard at a 'Jones Gang' gig.
Procul Harum are back on the road in a few weeks time so check on the dates etc here: http://www.procolharum.com/ and maybe go along and see them and Josh's new toy in action.
Also check out one of Josh's other projects http://www.danandjosh.co.uk/
Not only is he a very talented Hammond Guru .. he is also a very gifted composer and writer / arranger.
I am sure you have all heard the Strictly Come Dancing Theme ...... well thats down to Josh and his partner alongside many other well known TV and film themes.
When we both get chance, I will meet up again and do a full length interview with the man himself.
Cheers
Malc
