It's in Market Drayton in Shropshire. 20 minutes from Stoke on Trent and Shrewsbury, an hour tops from Birmingham. They've got a whole beer garden that they've said we can use as a camping ground if anyone wants to use it.
HI guys,
Ok, some potentially exciting news for people looking for cbg festivals in the UK this summer. I was talking to the landlady at the pub I worked at tonight and she's got very excited about the whole cigar box and roots music thing. She's actually offered us her pub including beer gardens for an entire weekend over the summer!! That's one side garden for camping if anyone wants to and the main garden complete with stage (and probably BBQ or hog roast, they like their events there) for performances. Inside is one big room too and there's a large front courtyard and car park. If anyone would be interested in playing, setting up little stalls, running workshops or just generally helping with the planning of this please give me a shout. This place is too good an opportunity to let slip without at least giving it a go!
Well done finding those boxes Nigel. I spent ages trying to find the right size on amazon/ebay. Making your own is not too tricky or time consuming. I've got some lovely grained and plain spruce from 4D models which I've been making up into boxes. Generally I've kept them at 30x19x5cm, although I'm building one larger to test (37x20x6cm) the sound and feel of it. And I've been making a basswood box, which is easily trimmed and shaped to set a licence plate into the front. I've used 2.5mm for the sound board, which is about .6mm thicker than a regular acoustic guitar, but I'm thinking it will keep that lovely 'boxy' sound rather than ringing like a regular guitar. But hey, you don't know til they are finished. Now I need to build a load of necks!
Just ordered a couple of boxes of Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006E72NDU don't know if they are any good but 12"x 9" at £6 each must be worth a punt.
