Do you have an interest in blues music? Would you like to take classes from some of Canada’s best Blues musicians? The Hornby Island Blues Society has scholarships available for teenage or young adults to attend our May 2010 blues camp.

The camp runs from May 10th to May 14th. The scholarship includes: three days of hands-on learning the blues; acoustic and electric concerts performed by the instructors; meals during the workshop; a chance to perform on stage yourself;  membership in The Blues Society; and so much fun!

In the past we have offered two scholarships but this year we would like to offer a third scholarship in the memory of our beloved friend and fellow musician, Tempest Grace Gale. The beauty and power in her music touched all who listened to her. She will be greatly missed.

If you are interested, please write a letter to the Hornby Island Blues Society, telling us about yourself and why you feel we should consider you for the scholarship. Applicants need to have some prior knowledge of music.

Applications can be sent to Hornby Island Blues Society, Savoie 1-6,  Hornby Island, BC,V0R 1Z0 or can be This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Deadline for applications is February 21, 2010
