From 2006 until 2015, Ed taught melodeon around his adopted home county of Devon, Glorious Devon and across the border at Halsway Manor, Somerset. With the bank of Loaner Hohners, those who fancied a go (but didn’t own an instrument) could rent one at a nominal rate to really see if it was for them. And so it almost invariably proved!
In the Spring of 2024, Ed once more began evening group progressive workshops for absolute beginners and very successful they were too!
With the end of the Festival Season fast approaching, he’ll be starting a new series of Absolute Beginners Workshops and once again, there are Loaner Hohners to rent for those who are intrigued but don’t have access to an instrument. And with Ed’s tablature system (aka Rennie Tab), you don’t even have to read music. So if you’ve always fancied having a go on a melodeon, here’s your chance!
The monthly workshops are at two locations:
Melodeons on The Moor
Venue: Sticklepath Village Hall
When: 2nd Wednesday of the month
Melodeons on The Exe
Venue: Exminster Victory Hall
When: 3rd Wednesday of the month
