I am part of the global harmonica community. I guess being interested and involved in the harmonica community over many years has lead me to be elected as Chairman of the National Harmonica League in the UK, and that’s quite an honour.

When I heard Elwood Blues playing blues harp in the Blues Brothers film from the 80s, I couldn’t get over the crazy sound of the harmonica. I watched the film over and over – even watched it last night! Had to get me a harmonica…

Seeing Paul Lamb playing the Station Tavern in London was the final straw – I started having lessons from him and became a Sonny Terry nut. From There Little Walter, Big Walter and gradually found out about all the greats.

Brendan Power introduced me to other players such as Charlie McCoy, JJ Milteau, Howard Levy and then I was hooked – a dead duck!

I started teaching professionally in 1995 while studying how to teach and began running workshops in London inherited from Brendan Power as he was joining Riverdance. The first lesson in school I taught in was Dulwich College in London and then in Bristol.

I’ve had the luck to study personally with Howard Levy (one week residential), Paul Lamb, Brendan Power, Joe Filisko, Richard Sleigh, Carlos del Junco, Sonny Terry (recorded lesson) and in workshops with Charlie McCoy, Lee Oskar, Steve Baker, Keith Dunn, Rick Estrin, Rick Epping, Adam Gussow amongst lots others – and thanks to all of them for the help which I now pass on to other students.

Performance wise, I have played in many blues bands, and different musical groups as well as performing solo and on cruise ships. I’ve played on the same bill as Larry Adler in 2000, jammed in concert with Jools Holland and had a long, hilarious and fascinating lunch with Billy Connolly showing him some harmonica techniques he wanted to know about.

I now offer private lessons on SKYPE. Just send a contact request mentioning HARMONICA LESSONS to SKYPE ID – benhewlettbenhewlett
