Douglas Tate, harmonica

Before his illness Douglas started work with David and Ena Reilly on a re-issue of the Tommy Reilly Harmonica Course as a companion to the Studies book he had already edited. Regrettably his illness intervened whilst the project was still in its infancy.

We have carried on from the beginnings Douglas made and the book is now on sale.

The course book remains faithful to the original text at the Reilly family’s request, the 28 original audio tracks have been tuned and transferred to two CDs to accompany the book.

More details from the email address below and the Tommy Reilly website.
