A RENOWNED guitarist will teach an eight-week course exploring blues techniques to musicians in Nailsea this month.

Concentrating on fingerstyle blues and slide guitar, Rick Payne will give the second in a series of Blues At The Barn, at the Tithe Barn, in Church Lane, to people of all ages.

Aimed mainly at acoustic players who have some experience in playing the guitar, electric instruments are also catered for.

The workshop runs from 7.30-9pm on Thursday evenings, from April 12- June 7.

Places are limited so booking is recommended by emailing bookings@nailseatithebarn.co.uk or by logging onto www.rickpayne.co.uk/bluesatthebarn2.htm.

Rick will also be performing a concert at the venue on Friday at 8pm, sponsored by Nailsea Folk Club.
