BLUEGRASS SEEDS (established 2008)

Welcome to Bluegrass Seeds the web-site that encourages young & old to play and be involved in MUSIC. We are based in the "bluegrass" county of Cheshire in England and have been involved in teaching and promoting festivals and bluegrass music since 1992. Having sown the seeds of bluegrass for all these years we are now ready to grow and expand into other areas as well as providing quality teaching aids for all levels from basic "Beginners" to more advanced students

Ed Horrocks Book.... Full of Chords/Words/Tunes.... Wonderfully laid out for the Beginner OR the experienced people. Words to go with the chords to 40 + bluegrass classic songs/tunes. JP loved it and there is a free CD with it from Ed as well. He sings and plays the banjo along with all his printed material .. ... As Ed says “I am not the best singer or banjo player in the world ” .... but JP thought it was OK for the book and set out what it was supposed to do!! IE Give you an idea of how the tunes should go. Incidentally Ed you are a better singer than me!! .. IT IS A SUPERB LITTLE BOOK ... at £10 its well worth it ... we have them in stock of course here at our Frodsham unit (tel 01928-735817) - email :- info@bluegrassseeds.co.uk

BLUEGRASS SEEDS musical concept was set up by Stuart Williams who is highly regarded as one of the UK's best bluegrass musicians and tutors. Below are just some of the acknowledgements.

Stuart Williams

Stuart Williams is one of the finest young musical talents I have come across in the UK. Stuart plays all instruments: guitar, mandolin, banjo and more but not only does he play them all at a high level, he can also teach people to play these instruments at any level. As it is often said "Those who can do and those who can't teach." Well, Stuart breaks that ruling. I've sat in on his lessons and he has the savvy it takes to translate music to the young and old through modern songs or old time fiddle tunes. He genuinely cares about his students and the best ways to get the points across. Therefore I can strongly recommend this web-site and every tutorial Stuart produces because I know the arrangements will be thought out, strong, clear and concise. Stuart Williams: a picker's picker and a teacher's teacher. I may have to nab a few of his arrangements for my next book… …Steve Kaufman 3 Time USA Guitar Champ Author for Mel Bay Publications and Homespun Tapes PS If I was taking lessons today I would want them to be with Stuart.

"I have had the pleasure of playing with Stuart and he is one of the finest banjo players on either side of the Atlantic!"…. ROB ICKES :-acclaimed USA Dobro Player and member of BlueHighway

Stuart Williams may well be the most influential bluegrass teacher in England. Due to his unmatched teaching success and the genuine concern for his students and this great music there is now an entire bluegrass community in the Northwest of England where there was none before. He is also an extremely gifted performer on guitar and banjo, and brings this perspective to his more advanced students. A Web-site like this which is based on almost two decades of teaching and performing experience is long overdue… as you say in UK….. BRILLIANT!
