In case any of you wonderful, loyal followers were thinking of taking the journey over to Chichester on 4th February, we are sad to announce that the gig is no longer on due to a change of brewery and event plans at The Hole In The Wall. Damn shame, we were looking forward to that as the last one was a blinder. Hey ho, see you all at another one. Keep an eye on here, Facebook and Twitter.
Keep calm, carry on.
I’ve had a number of guitars over the years and have always ended up going back to my trusted Vester Strat. One guitar that has always stuck in my mind was a honey burst Epiphone Les Paul Standard. For some daft reason I sold it on and have regretted it ever since.
Well I can regret no more because I only went and bought myself another one from Nevada in Portsmouth. It got it’s first airing on Saturday at The Woodman, Purbrook and boy did it impress.
The Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plain Top in Honey Burst - so playable and responsive it hurts
These guitars have come on leaps and bounds over the years and this new one really delivers the beans. It’s an absolute tone monster and compliments my Vox VT-100 like a dream. The tone is incredible and the pickups seem even more responsive that the last two Les Paul’s I’ve owned.
Suffice to say I’ve been stood in front of the mirror for hours with this little beauty!!
It’s J’s birthday today!!!
Happy birthday pal – Pete & Rich

Well, it’s like this… I dropped a few hints every day since about October to my darling wife about how beautiful this guitar was and the sad fact that I’ve never, ever had a brand new guitar in my life, and you could have knocked me down with a feather when I unwrapped this gorgeous Fender Squier Vintage Modified 5 string jazz on Xmas day!! (Thanks to Nevada Music in Portsmouth). It really is so ‘easy’ to play, the neck and action is something I’d expect on an intsrument nearer the thousand quid mark. And the sound….oh, man…makes me go all mushy inside. You’ll be seeing me with this as my main ‘gigger’ for some time to come.
So now all I own are this baby, the blue Yamaha 775 and my trusty old silver (ESP) LTD B-55. The red Yamaha 375 and the Vintage Music Man lookalike went via jolly old ebay. I’d love a whole room full of gear, but it’s true, you can only play one at a time. Still working on that lottery though… Mwahahaha!!!!
Our first gig of 2012 is at The Woodman, Purbrook this coming Saturday (21st January). The fun starts at 9pm so make sure you’re there in plenty of time.
Details here
Rumours are spreading about our brand new song ‘Long time coming’. Well, let the rumours be gone! We ARE going to be recording LTC within the next few weeks and unleashing it on the world so watch this space for further news and updates.
We couldn’t think of a better way to end 2011 than play at The Malt, Hythe. This intimate gig was perfect in almost every single way. Family, friends, fans. What more could we ask for?
Happy New Year everyone and lets hope 2012 is a good’un!
