I should be able to make it. I'm just waiting to get the gig dates for the brass band I'll be working with (I will write more about that under my "non rock'n'roll bassist" thread

Hope you can make it even if it's just for the morning.

Yep that's Andy Solloway. Nice guy and has done work on a couple of my guitars in the past. Haven't had the occasion to see him since moving from York though.

that was a wierd 30 min on google... I have an acoustic 6 string that was made by a Yorkshire luthier who then made resonators.... no google search joy but gemini tracked him down, different guy Steve Evans later Beltona resonators.... anyway


I have put the date in the diary and will confer with the other half... tbh last time I came it was sunny and I thought it would be fun to walk up the hill behind the hall too!

Had no idea there was such a demand for resonators from Yorkshire!!

Well worth it, and there's loads of walks in the vicinity if you're not feeling ambitious enough to tackle one of the three peaks.
