Oh sugar Jamie ,I missed it ,I'll have to watch on catch up ... I have a 45 of Lonnie singing Rock Island Line recorded "Live" at Bristol Colston Hall :-)

Thanks for the heads up Jamie! Great show, even though I missed the first 10 minutes on the way home from work. The closing titles did make me start looking for a GDG tab for 'Pick a Bale of Cotton' though but I couldn't find one. Does anyone have any ideas for it that are a bit more embellished than the basic G C G G D7 G chords?

Re below. It's prog on LONNIE DONNEGAN, good Glasgow boy, and legend btw :)

I think there is a cluster forming

I'm on the map. Let's start a ball rolling. It doesn't matter where "it" is . It really only matters that there is ONE big "it" .. And not several small "it"s .. OK?

Please please don't have about 5 of them organised by 5 people. If you want to get it done then everyone organising should take responsibility for a part of the thing.. Travel, accommodation, perhaps daytime beer and craft sale stalls, nighttime gig schedule, promotion, next day private CBG nation meet up place, sound engineering and stage set up. Local liaison. Security.. Etc. Etc. 

I guess I've seen too many band members sit around talking about who will get to name the band the " coolest name" that they don't actually make any music.

Highly recommend their build course after doing it in Walthamstow

Hi David , Yes Drummond & Hammett make some nice stuff and some of their "CBG"'s and baccy tin amps are sold in Hobgoblin in Park Street, Bristol. They are actually based less than a couple of miles away from where I am but I don't think they have retail premises. As far as I am aware they make the boxes from scratch in their Easton workshop.

Bristol Blue, I had a guess where you might be. Have you seen this, based in Bristol makers of cigar box guitars?
