Newcastle: A Canny Guitar Show

Thanks to all concerned with the Newcastle Guitar Show this last weekend. What a great show, and loads of enthusiastic guitar obsessed fretheads attended. Loads of chat with some very friendly folks from the north east, guitar fans all. I sold a nice Gibson SG Standard and there was a lot of interest in books, pedals etc. Great to catch up with stall holders and contacts especially Hayden from Matamp, Geoff from JJ Guitars and Andrew Rothwell of Rothwell Audio who is a great character and a comic genius, sometimes without knowing it, well he makes me laugh anyway! There was a friendly Geordie welcome at the Federation brewery and some nice stuff on display from all the stall holders. Oh and Big Jim Sullivan was there playing a blinder!

All in all a cracking show!

See you next year!
