Barry after attending Chris Quinn's "Art Of The Blues" Retreat in Brittany, France 2019...
"I just wanted to say thank you for a cracking week…a big thumbs up.
You're a darn good teacher, a super talented guitar player. You pitched the week spot on, we were pretty lucky to have a smallish group as it all felt very intimate and you could give us all time.
