email me your name and number and I'll ask him to contact you.

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!

Does that Mike Dolbear bloke teach it?

Sounds like Mal Garrett might be the bloke then.

it was necessary for me because i didnt know, didnt realise it would be such a problem to clarify his location

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.

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.

Hornchurch is 5 mins from Romford

Eddie Ryan is in S Hornchurch

You can get a lesson in and have a drum wrapped in one day?
thebeaver Posted - 21/07/2012 : 19:01:09
But agreed Andy, it will be the best money you ever spend if you go see him!

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.

He has moved - Romford city center last time I was with him - unless he's moved in the last 48 hours

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.

Isn't that close enough?

Doesn't look like the location is that important from the first post...

Mal Garrett at Birmingham Conservatoire if you're in the Midlands. In London, Bob Armstrong.
