Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on March 4, 2012 at 8:45am: Hi there Delta Boy. You have joined and thanks for deciding to. As the group title says, it covers London and nearby, so really anyone somewhere around the South East might find it useful. There are also members as close (far away) as the US and Australia. Oh, and Wales (Hi Mark).

Comment by Essex Delta Boy on March 4, 2012 at 8:05am: Only been up the smoke to see Trucks/Tedeschi band within the last few years, but can I join, please?

Comment by steve chunk hales on January 26, 2012 at 3:58am: hello, i am very new to CbG but am loving it. can't play for toffee but having ago. my girlfriend got me a Rat Scabies built one for mid winter and i am hooked. i have built 3 and hacked a cassette player for an amp. so i am currently being a sponge for knowledge on playing and building. also any up coming gigs and people i should be listening to.
