I am up for one in Nottingham/ the East Midlands, also intrested in a make and play session.

Comment by ChickenboneJohn on February 17, 2014 at 7:29pm

I'm thinking of arranging some players' workshops, so it's quite possible to get something going I'm sure. If there are enough people to make it worth me travelling over,  and a venue to run it in...

Cracking gig, all the acts were spot on. @ Soulcatcher, I brought my sister and you were definitely her favourite. She actually said "I definitely love that dude" Thanks to all involved, had a great night!

Yeah what a night at the Engine Rooms,

Just like to say Thank you to everyone for all your support, like John said,

 it was nice to be amongst friends old and new.
