I always love listening to your kit Steve. It's like taking a veil off the recordings. Have a great day (or two).

Leicestershire, daftee. it's a 'wee drive' from where you are
80-odd miles from me, but I gave up going to commercial hi-fi shows quite a while ago. The only one I'm inclined to haul my ass along to now is Cranage, as it's local and has free entry and parking in the hotel grounds.
ZERO stress or hassle, just what I like!

Marco - this is the new incarnation of the 'Wam Scalford Hall show - it's not commercial, apart from a couple of traders to help support things.Leicestershire, daftee. it's a 'wee drive' from where you are

I'll be there - Mrs. B and I are making a weekend of it and staying in a rather nice country house hotel near Derby.

Ah ok, I heard it had gone all commercial now. Fair enough. They're not still doing bus runs to car parks, are they? That was a freaking nightmare at Scalford.
Hey Adam, sounds great - a man after my own heart, who enjoys the finer things in life! Got a link?

I got the bus at Scalford the last time I went and it couldn’t have been easier!
I’m giving the new Wan show a chance and will be there on Sunday with a couple of mates. Cranage is the other show I like and I’ll definately be going to it again this year.
