This guy was reviewed in the Independent yesterday, and I thought I'd better share this song (featuring a CBG) with you guys - a real foot-stomper

15th Feb The Engine Rooms, Skelmersdale - gig with Soulcatcher, Bluesbeaten Redshaw and ChickenboneJohn. I'm also running a 'make and play' workshop on the same day but that's sold out. 18th May Haydock Park guitar show  and 23rd November Aintree guitar show - I'll be there and I would think that Treadstone Guitars will also be there with our CBG stalls.

Just heard some sad news, my friend Stan Newton died a few ago. He was a real character and a generous hearted gentleman. You might not have known Stan, but he was often to be seen in Birmingham photographing people and places....with his distinctive beard, often dressed in top hat, sometimes teamed incongruously and stylishly with a leather biker jacket, he was always easy to recognise. Stan was very enthusiastic about his music, and I often bumped into him in Birmingham city centre when I was busking...he also filmed "Boxstock", the UK cigar box guitar festival in 2011. RIP Stan, another good man down.

Here's the date for starters. Like Cambridge, keep 'em home made, Guys (Obviously Bob's Trance Wonder will be an exception!). If you'd like to play (again), please get in touch. More info later. Cheers, BeeP (it's still me!)

Hi londonbackpakr. Try www.bitsbox.co.uk for electrical components. Look in the list on the left hand side of the front page and select resistors and then potentiometers. Loads of different values, all dirt cheap and good postage. Also check out www.pedalparts.co.uk and www.doctortweek.co.uk.

cheers, Alan.
