Over the weekend you will learn about the rhythm style of Gypsy Swing as well as how to improvise using set piece’s and Gypsy Jazz standards.  Suitable for both acoustic and electric players.  The retreat offers a chance for both novice and experienced players to learn and interact with each other over the course of the weekend in relaxed comfortable surroundings, allowing  you to fully immerse yourself in Gypsy Jazz!   Sam is keen to emphasise that even if you come from a different musical genre it is possible to bring your own experience to the style of Gypsy Jazz.  Samuel C. Lees has emerged as one of the UK’s most exciting and entertaining Gypsy guitar players. Samuel’s fusing of both the smooth melodic style of Django Reinhardt and the fire and flair of modern gypsy guitar players such as Jimmy Rosenberg and Joscho Stephen surpasses convention and crosses boundaries   A full time performer and composer who also loves to teach others the joys of guitar playing and share his passion for the Gypsy Jazz style.
