A very long day...up at 3.45am...load up the car and on the road for 5.15am and a 150 mile drive to Yorkshire. I love being on the road that time of a morning...quiet roads, and seeing in the start of the day, even if it's a misty drizzley one.

It was nice to see some old friends and meet some new customers....I had another good day for sales, and some great networking..one guitar shop wants to stock some of my stuff, another wants a custom guitar with their logo on it, I  found a great source for custom cases for my top-end guitars, and looks like I've got a biker rally gig on the strength of demo-ing my guitars.

These events are hard work on your own (at the last two my wife helped out) ...breaking down the stand, packing the gear into the car are really tiring after a long day...but walking out of the hall into the sushine with a fresh wind in your face and a wallet full of hard-earned notes makes it easier to face the long haul back. I dropped in at my parents in Barnsley on the way back for dinner a well earned break! Pendle Guitar Festival this coming weekend, so no time off, as I've got to get re-stocked for what will hopefully be another busy event. If you are around, do drop in and say hello..I may have Home Grown Music Collective shirts on sale!!!.
