<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I know how easy it is to miss stuff thats hidden in groups, so hope you dont mind this reminder.</p>
<p>The 4th Annual Uk Cigar Box Guitar Festival is just 11 days away!</p>
<p>The dates for your diary are Friday 7th & Saturday 8th September. This year we are in Manchester and its going to be huge!</p>
<p>For the Friday night we are at the Salutation, a cosy traditional Victorian drinking hole, where we'll be having a couple of pints, talking music, eating pies, enjoying (or partaking in?) the open mic, and, to round off, the legendary Hollowbelly will be playing some good old northern punk blues. Its going to be busy, so get there early - it all kicks off around 7.30pm.</p>
<p>Saturday sees us take over the infamous Band On The Wall, and we have a packed day planned for all the family. Guitar building workshops, cajon building sessions, masterclasses, trade stands, showcases, demonstrations, film, live performances... and 30+ real ales! (Please note - the bar will be closed until we've all finished playing with sharp tools...).</p>
<p>For the Saturday evening gig we have scoured the globe for the very best in alternative and cigar box artists. From the Uk, we have Babajack, recently nominated for two Britsh Blues Awards. From the Usa we have Mike Snowden, on his first visit to the Uk. We have Glaswegian Alt Blues hero Dave Arcari, and from the swamps of Finland, Blackriver Bluesman & Bad Mood Hudson.</p>
<p>Its going to be EPIC! Doors open 7.30pm.</p>
<p>Evening / gig only tickets £12</p>
<p>All day tickets £25 to HGMC members, £30 non members</p>
<p>Tickets available direct from the venue, or <a href="http://www.homegrownmusiccollective.com/page15.htm" target="_blank">here</a></p>

What most people think of as The Blues, Ry Cooder with his clean style, is but one form. Dampening the strings with a flat finger behind the slide makes this clean tone, this we do not do. I call the style that myself and Tom play Slide, Rattle `n` Roll, in this style of playing there is no dampening, the strings are all aloud to ring out, you can hear the Slide movements upon the neck. Open strings are aloud to sound, it can get messy, Blues with warts and all!<br/> <br/> We are writing Modern Blues Music in our own style, not American Style, but British. Is it a new form of “The Blues”, you tell me! We are using primitive, Home Made instruments, Valve amps, Home Made Stomp Boxes, as well as Modern Guitars and Digital Effects. We play a blend of Old and New, we want to breathe new life into the Old Dog and bring “The Blues” into the new Century. Our music tends to be faster and more Beatty than the Old Blues, I think it is like, Blues, R`n`R, Skiffle and Modern Indie Music, all rolled into one. We are Gigging act, we play out when every we can, usually we Gig about once a week. We want to spread the word, enlighten people, change perceptions and most of all Entertain!<br/> <br/> ----<br/> <br/> THE SNEEZY T'S</span></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Rough internal dimensions 36" long x 10-12" thick end to about 6" top end and 2-3" thick.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can also make bags to any dimension and not looking to make a huge profit just enough to make it worthwhile.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
