STAY SAFE EVERYBODY!
The Young Blades main core of tutors (past and present) is currently Tim Hills, Markus Smith and Rachel Thompson-Smith with the broader YB's Collective of tutors & students consisting of Russell Winston-Ford, Matt Purkis, Ben Corner, Olly Browning, Louis Bastable, George and Ed Seymour-Cole and Jack Cotten still joining the musical circus at gigs in the local area.
Older teenage and adult students are invited to join The Young Blades when they play, to help them gain valuable experience on the local circuit. Always a great time ...the record so far performing at one gig is 18 YB's and students performing at The Heroes in Waterlooville...it's a sight to behold... " I can bend down to pick up my drink mid song and they'll be an entirely different set of musicians playing with me when I stand up and it will have been absolutely seamless in transition...quite amazing and one hell of a laugh!!
