HOHNER BLUES HARP
I've been selected as the new face of the Hohner Blues Harp!
I feel incredibly grateful to be the new featured artist for the legendary Blues Harp from Hohner. This was one of the very first harmonicas I ever played and it’s a classic choice for harmonica players worldwide.
It’s a real honour to be featured on the new box which will be shipped to harmonicists all over the world.
Huge thanks to Hohner Music for this, and thanks to you for your support over the years.


aboutME
I am a blues harmonica player based in Gloucestershire, England. I'm available as a session musician for studio and band work.
I have won the National Harmonica League Player of the Year, and I front The Liam Ward Band as well as playing with The Jake Leg Jug Band, Mark Cole, Malcolm Thorne and Benjamin Bassford among others.
I'm a blues specialist but also love playing rock, pop, country, jazz and more. I have performed across Europe and in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Australia. I am also a Session Harmonica Player with recording clients worldwide. I play and endorse Hohner Harmonicas.
I also sing and play jug band / skiffle instruments: musical saw, jaws harp, comb & paper (precursor to the kazoo), jug, washboard, spoons and the Irish bones.
I run an online harmonica school at www.learntheharmonica.com, teach masterclasses and write content for magazines including Blues Matters, Harmonica World and Blues in Britain.
