Thanks. I'll try not to be. Can't promise anything of course as I am a belligerent Scot.

 

If you still have it by that time, I'd be very interested in playing your Epiphone Les Paul actually as I think it looks fantastic. It'd certainly be good to meet you and the rest of the peeps properly.

 

Naturally, getting the train, I'd be travelling light, so one bass, possibly a small amp and maybe a few pedals. I don't know what folk would be interested in trying that I own as since quite a lot of it is "pointy," or dare I say it, "mental," it does sometimes put people off.

 

I say bring your most mental one.  Vive la difference!

Pointy is good. Soon it will be retro

Well, most of my collection is a bit mental so I'll list the more weird ones. I'll list them in "declining pointy order" if you want. Pictures to hand of the first 2 if you want a laugh.

Not promising anything, but I’ll talk to the management. Assuming that a mere Sire V7 might interest someone in such otherwise august company of Sei, top bracket fenders and  so on 

 

The lady of chateau geek is going to Devon in a few weeks so I don’t see why I can’t take 1.5 days off (I need to take the drive slowly as I’m not allowed to drive too far in one go for medical reasons) 

 

what time is kickoff? 
 

id love to try a db @Rosie C and it would be a pleasure to meet Scottish alter-ego @neepheid
