So what was the venue like? Satisfactory? Likely to be a regular thing?
AS long as we can work around theatre dates....should be no problem!

Going to try and remember to bring some "Hello my name is" stickers next time... I kept trying to match faces to forum names (I only remembered Sooty==Cam because of his videos!) and failed miserably.

Maybe next time we can try to spread out a bit more. I enjoyed having a blat on some of Jenesis' stompboxes, but my wee 5 watter just couldn't be heard over all the other higher wattage goodness going on around the room.

careful, or you'll get him in a right solid state
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.
