Posted - 25/07/2012 : 11:23:26 Any idea how to contact Mal Garrett, I can't find a website or email address. Not had any success through the conservatoire due to "data protection".

Have studied with Bob Armstrong and totally agree - worth every mile of the trip! He's the man for Moeller as well as a lot more! |

Posted - 23/07/2012 : 09:27:14 Does that Mike Dolbear bloke teach it?
Sounds like Mal Garrett might be the bloke then. |

It was a bit of an unneccisary point to make Tim, seeing as though Romford is all of 2 and a half minutes from areas that would be classed as London!
it was necessary for me because i didnt know, didnt realise it would be such a problem to clarify his location |

Posted - 23/07/2012 : 02:38:03 Mal Garrett in Brum, no need to go to London. Mal studied with Chapin as a personal friend for 20 something years or more. I hear Bob's top too, but don't know him. |

Chris.
I think you'll find Bob's Moeller to be fairly "true" and "traditional" also! |

Jeff Lardner, Nice guy!
It was Jeff who got me in with Bob.
In those days, late 90's, Bob didn't have a website and was ex-directory. Jeff was with the BBC big band guesting on a cruise ship I was playing on. I was asking him about some stuff he was doing, he did show me, but he also gave me Bob's number. The rest is history, (and geography apparently. )
Andy
He still is a lovely man.I'll pass your regards on.
If you go with anyone then, Bob's the man. |

I used to drive from Skegness for a 10.00 am lesson, (Only time he had available, and that was after a 6 month spell on the waiting list.)
Best money I ever spent.
Andy
He has moved - Romford city center last time I was with him - unless he's moved in the last 48 hours  |

Posted - 21/07/2012 : 16:50:13 For those that do not know,the new London boundary stretches as far as you can physically push a Tubby Isaac's Jellied Eel Stall from Bow into Essex.
You should go to the best,not the most convenient as you will only benefit in the long run. |
