I seem to remember Kimbara are good quality? Original case, nothing desperately bad wrong with it by the looks of things. Collection only Leicester.

In my little band we went through a phase of playing a couple of choons that benefitted from the use of a 12 string. Without bloody fail, because it is so funny, guitarist would play the start of that once he'd slung it on.
There was a small piece of time when my little band were considering playing this over the pa this just before we started, just to get folks attention. Then we decided it would rather pretentious nonsense for the Dog and Duck. Love the tune, though.
I was a late starter! Had my first gig in front of real people in 2008 aged 51. Marconi Social Club in Chelmsford. Band was called 'Still The Thrill', I'd just bought a 'proper' bass - that Hayman 4040 - and was still concentrating hard where to put my fingers. Edit - notice Frankenstein's monster on keys.
Very definitely this. You get a wave of appreciation coming back at you that is nothing remotely like what you get as a pub band. Above all it is immense fun, which is what it is all about.
I'm in a Bon Jovi tribute - Just Jovi. For reasons I can't quite still understand we have no professionally shot film yet but this is what we have by way of a demo. (plug - next gig 23rd Feb Leigh Community Centre)
I saw them as support for Black Sabbath 'The End' at the O2 Arena. Fab band!
I liked this an awful lot when I first heard it, still do. Seen them a couple of times.
