swing by Grey Lynn any time if you want to try it out. Probably best you bring that lovely old Gretsch though. Man that was sweet, and I only played it unplugged!

I'd hope so given the $$ paid :oops:

it's not swimming pool - but it's cooler than I thought - really large flames for the 10top

Thanks Si and Matman for organising another fest. Always great to see familiar faces and meet new ones.

Enjoyed a quick hoon on H671's Harmony, Hacksaw's very lite SG, and Grant's very tasty Gretsch DuoJet. Bender's Rynolux was awesome, and always enjoy Twangsnarl's tastefully simple pedalboard.

And a special thanks again to the photographers for reminding me how bald I really am.
Nothing to see here.

Glad you could make it - was good to catch up IRL

I have personally witnessed Grant playing The Swimming Pool. He made it sound rather excellent actually.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

It's a PRS. Not quite a swimming pool... unless there had been a brown alert.

Looks like a great day and some choice bits on display. Can't wait for the Welly version now...

Thanks Si and Matt. Great work.

That photoshopped pic of me and PRS is hilarious.

Si Hirst, your flange was full and fitted the gap provided nicely.

Ben, never play April Sun on my Special again... EVER.


Very cool day ... More thought s tomorrow

On a side note- my son's name is Cuba and he was born in April. That's just a very unfortunate coincidence though.
