Dr Tom Attah is a musician and academic currently based in Leeds. We’re excited to welcome to Brixton for the weekend and he’ll be playing two sets at Blues at the Ritzy the night before (Friday 26th July).

 

Tickets for this event are £20 per person. How is this workshop priced so affordably?! The costs of running the workshop are heavily subsidised by the Blues At The Ritzy Blues History and Culture Education Fund. Blues at the Ritzy runs as a not-for-profit night, and any profit made after paying the costs of the night are saved up in this Fund to be able to subsidise learning about the history and culture that formed the music and the dances that we love so much. Take advantage of this subsidised opportunity to learn from Dr Attah while you can!
