The PERTH BLUES CLUB presents its annual

HARP ATTACK

Always looking forward to Harp Attack when the Tin Sandwiches take over the Perth Blues Club. It is going to be a great night with an amazing wealth of talent featuring Harp players from many of our favourite bands.
Howie Smallman, Geoff Bushby, Dave Billing and young Elwood Birgden.
The DooDaddies featuring Dave Brewer - Electric Guitar, John Wilson - Upright and Electric Bass and Yugon Chobanoff  -  Drums will back our special guests.

Get there early and have a chat with other like minded harmonica enthusiasts, perhaps find out about the Harmonica Club, this is all good stuff! The plan is to get some jamming happening in the last set, pull a few Harpists from the crowd, encourage some spontaneity and have a huge amount of fun. Dancing permitted and encouraged.

There will be Harp related prizes- thanks to Mando Harps. So come on down to PBC at the Charles Hotel Tuesday June 18 and celebrate the Heart's Horn.
