So are we going to be left out or shall we try and arrange something :thumbup:
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I know wellington is rather futuristic for some of you but I didn't want to gloat.

I'd recommend checking out Nautilus as a possible hosting venue. I'm going to be tied up until Mid Sept, but keen to be a part of it otherwise.

I'm in for sure. I have a Helix to show off (will go about as well as that time I tried to show off an Axe FX).

In fact my highlight was badly playing the One Vision intro for PB through a digitally modelling AC30 and watching his face

Fuck you're brave, I have narrowly missed meeting PB face to face, but going near any Queen in earshot of PB is something I would not do.
Tin arse!!
