Hunstanton Thatch-d’Avergne has a very, very upmarket ring to it* Sort of chap who’d have a sister called Clytemnestra (known to all her friends as “Minty”). Pops was something in the City, yah? *(tell me if I’m close?)

I’m sure it does and rightly so - but it works both ways. I’ve come across a lot of very helpful, friendly and informative staff in music shops - but also above the national average of condescending ar$es.

Teamwork in action there. Just beautiful....

^^^this. I was put off at first but once you're inside they're really relaxed and friendly

I want that album. Can't find it on Amazon though.....

You know the rules. Pictures or it didn't happen....

Following lunch, I now identify as Prestwick Quiet Layby Off The A157. Not quite as snappy and a lot more ink on the posters....

Music Junkie's gone? That's a shame - although I'm not surprised as it was tucked out of the way and always seemed pretty quiet. I used to be the same and worry about trying stuff out. I could never decide which i hated more; the silent shop where I'm the only person making a noise, or the busy shop with two people playing different parts of Stairway To Heaven, one metal head playing a Marshall stack at full volume, a fourteen year old playing EVH licks faster than EVH himself and a middle aged bloke (me) thumping out Seven Nation Army over and over and over.....

Prestwick Copper Kettle walking on to thunderous silence.

Great news - and thanks for the heads up about the spot at Hemswell. If the rain ever stops we might have a little run out 😀

Or address, obvs..... 😁

Well I wasn’t going to put my real name, now was I?

Flash?

How recently? I was worried that they’d closed down but it seems I was wrong.....which is fantastic. It’s a great shop and I’m well overdue another visit. Back on topic, I often go into shops and don’t try anything. Unless I was genuinely interested in buying an item, I wouldn’t try it.

That's niiiiiiiiice 😀

A man of taste, clearly. White pearl on black every time. Do it 😀

Only 'cos we thought it was you, Ricky-boyoh

And what's the big assumption that you've made in that statement?

No need to worry about buckle rash. Sweat rash, maybe....

Please give her her full title. It's the long-suffering Mrs Teebs. And not a jury in the world would convict her given the extenuating circumstances (these being that she's the long-suffering Mrs Teebs....). Have a lovely time in Northumberland. And try not to bother the wildlife. PS Nice looking spot, btw. Will expect a tripadvisor-stylee thread to report on it when you get back

Just bought a BF One10 from Chris. Easy transaction, good communication throughout and the cab is in fantastic condition. thanks, Chris

“Baby, It’s Cold Outside” The original is bad enough but the Tom Jones, Cerys Whotsername version is somehow even creepier.

We’re still some way off gigs - aiming to do some “friendly” venues in early autumn. This guy is actually a very accomplished guitarist. Not so much on keys but very good on geetar. I think that may be part of the problem. He’s used to just winging it on guitar and then finding he’s out of his comfort zone on the keyboard. i guess I just have to let it play out - if it starts to become an issue I’ll try and nip it in the bud all friendly-like and see how things go. But it seems like this isn’t that unusual an occurrence and not just me. For once 😁

Why am I imagining some kind of manic Bez thing? *shudder*

Not yet - and the complication is that he and the guitarist are long-time buddies....
