Complete arsehole to get to for me. 120k and a PITA trip over the top of Christchurch. Then the same shit to get back home. Not to mention I've nothing new to show off, and haven't even played much lately.

Count me in!

I'm going to have to buy some gear as I've nothing ostentatious. Can't let the side down. At the moment I've the following:

Victory RK50 head
THD cab
Fryette Power Station II (assuming it's here by then and I've truthfully no reason to bring it)
That nice Mexi Strat I've put CS'69 pickups in (sounds too bright with a maple board)
Baja Tele (needs the nut filing-down a bit)
PRS SC with some tasty pickups
The Dude (my entire pedal collection)

Christ, I've dropped so much on bikes lately I haven't a hope in hell of squeezing a CS Strat or some such before then. I'd really like a nice 6V6 Fender-voiced amp too but have stopped looking until the Mrs gets over my recent excesses. :-( Do have six speakers coming in. Two are spoken-for but the others should raise a few quid.

I don’t remember any mention of minimum gear required for entry and if there was I’m pretty sure you still pass!!!
