It's only a small room, and during the day we'll have exclusive use of the place, so no probs. In the evening, we'll probably be able to lock stuff away in the store out of the way if people are in the least concerned about leaving stuff around.

There's a Bose PA, Marshal Combo, Peavey Bass Combo, plus there will be my Sessionette combo and a Trace acoustic combo..so plenty of amplification on hand.

It would be good if there was "safe" area where we could leave a few guitars for sale and someone keeping an eye on them while we are otherwise busy.

Keep the ticket orders coming guys 'n' gals!!! I'll start mailing out tickets after I'm back from hols in a week or so.

Do let me know if there is anything you want to see happen, and we'll see if we can fit it in. I'm looking at including an informal players session in the afternoon for those who don't want to play in front of a paying audience, but if you do want to play an open mic spot in the evening, let me know so that I can organise the running order.

Also, if you are down in Brum the day before and want to meet up for music/culture/gastronomy/drinking or whatever...let us know, and we'll try and help you get the most out of the weekend.

Bought a cigar box on a car boot sale for 50p. There was a bonus inside too. A plastic Skeletor and a pair of dice. How about that for a bargain.
