Class of 2007

Bluescamp is a three day event of blues and rock performance classes, workshops and seminars.
For guitarists, bassists, drummers, keyboard players and vocalists, the event is designed to place you in a live environment.
Whilst a lot of other courses may only concentrate on one instrument, we run Bluescamp as a 'whole band concept' so you can experience first hand what it is like to be part of and perform in a band.

You may be thinking 'How good do I have to be?' Well. Just as good as you are right now will be fine. We cater for the complete beginner to the experienced player.
We know there is no substitute for playing in a band. With this in mind, we have designed Bluescamp to be a very 'hands on' weekend, so you will certainly have scope for lots of playing. But it will not be a weekend of open mic sessions, or disorganised jam sessions. The staff, who are all professional musicians and tutors, are on hand to provide coaching and guidance to improve your skills throughout the day.
The subjects covered will include live performance tips, song writing, practice techniques, care of equipment, chord theory, scale theory, different rhythms, getting the right sound in the studio and on stage, history of the blues, and much more.
This event is growing in popularity, and because of demand we have now extended the weekend to an extra date. Places are limited, so if you wish to be part of the experience, now really is the time to book!

Why not take a look at the tutors page and meet the guys who run Bluescamp.
Then go to the venue page to see the fabulous location we have. And if that stirs your interest....
'We all look forward to seeing you at Bluescamp 2008'
