Great photo.

Sorry I couldn’t be there lads, I hope Ben it was a great send out for you.

Oh mate, I was admiring your shirt! Sorry I didn't know to say hi.
No worries! I'm a bit shy to be honest.

But I have to say I really enjoyed the band.
Some really great playing there from you guys and some wicked guitars on show too of course :-)

Added bonus too. Rich who did sound for you is an old band mate of mine. We played together many many moons ago when we were about 19 or so, so it was a pleasant surprise there too :-)

Great to see you dudes there!

I'm pretty sure I saw that Caribou up for sale a while back, and recently wondered if it had moved on. I guess the answer is no :) Looked like a fun day!

Yeah, that’s my fave. Such a great guitar - especially with the gold foil pickups!

That was a great day! I was pulled from pillar to post because there were so many people there I knew.

Smallface, it was good to meet you. Sorry we didn't have more time. We should stage a re-run.

Ants, I don't know what to say. For as long as I've known you, you have been an unstoppable chick magnet. But yesterday, you passed that baton to Ben. :rofl:

Great day all, thanks. :D

Chick magnet, haha... Don't know how that little girl popped into the photo but she is cute indeed. A band member's niece or daughter?
