  1. Don it says you can’t be messaged! Number is 07434683646 Mick
  2. Mahogany natural finish double cutaway guitar - the UK’s handmade answer to Gibson’s Melody Maker. I have owned this since the mid 80s but it’s rarely been out of its hard case as I became more interested in four string. So any battle scars were inherited! . Frets: 22 Fret size 1.5 x 2.5 mm Fingerboard: Rosewood Nut: Brass Nut width typically 45mm (base of neck 54mm) Pickups:1 humbucker (Coil Tapped) Machine Heads: Schaller Comments courtesy of @Lozz196 who sold one many years ago - I don’t think I can say it better… It only has the one pickup, but due to coil-tapping and a tone control that actually works well, a variety of different tones can be coaxed from this guitar. It is very lightweight, so is very comfortable to play for long rehearsal sessions/gigs. Great guitar for rock - AC/DC type tones simply scream from this guitar, as do Johnny Thunders/Buzzcocks punk tones.
  3. Latest album from highly rated US singer-songwriter. Yours for just £8 posted UK. Now £6 Susan James is thrilled to announce the release of her latest album TIME IS NOW on July 12, 2024. Dive into a world of captivating melodies and artful lyrics that will leave you wanting more. The psychedelic chamber-pop opus not only showcases James' talent but also highlights her growth and commitment to musical authenticity. Engineered and produced by Susan, Time Is Now is a testament to her innovative approach and artistic evolution. With a discography that tells a story of experimentation and heartfelt creativity, Susan James continues to capture the hearts of fans and critics alike. Susan provides some insight stating “It all began as a powerful vision a year ago, an idea that blossomed into what I now offer as a soundtrack for healing our seemingly broken world. In these tumultuous and divisive times, we must acknowledge that love, empathy, and inclusivity are not just noble ideals, but are vital components of our collective resilience and progress as a species.. While there are forces that seek to keep us in a state of conflict and mere survival, I believe that by embracing love and all its facets, we unlock boundless potential and possibilities for a beautiful, unified global future." She goes on playfully, "So yes, it’s this tiny concept that inspired the album."
  4. A history of the SXSW festival in Austin through the eyes of journalist Oliver Gray. RRP £14 - new copy £10 posted Review excerpt: Oliver Gray is currently active in promoting Americana acts in the UK, having retired from a teaching career. From 2003-2023, he imbibed his favourite music via flying visits to the legendary SXSW (South by Southwest) festival in Austin, Texas. The two decades saw him graduate from naive tourist to expert in navigating the event's unique format, making friends (and sometimes enemies) with promoters, managers, fans and musicians as he went. This handily-sized paperback draws from the many reviews he sent back to UK publications and websites, augmented by retrospective comment. Creative recycling, to be sure, but lovers of the Americana genre will wallow in this as if in a warm bath.
  5. Reissue of her second Rocket album as a beautifully packaged 2CD. £12 posted UK.
  6. Duke Fakir I’ll Be There - My Life with the Four Tops. Hardback, perfect condition. £8 including UK postage.
  7. Don’t be fooled by the photo … this is far from the obvious. It’s the best and most entertaining Fleetwood Mac book I have read! Now it’s your turn. As new hardback - £22 cover price, was £15 now reduced to £12 posted. A great story, told well with plenty of first person interview material.
  8. Micky Moody (Whitesnake) Playing With Trumpets (rare 2006 hardback) Snakes and Ladders (2016 paperback, later years) Both books, UK postage included, £15
  9. I listened to ‘Little Nicky’ more than Freeman and (whisper) Peel! Glad he is still alive and kicking (even if the others arent!) I do a similar thing with U3a groups and the like, having made a living interviewing the famous. One of my talks is called ‘Dolly, Daltrey, Geldof…and Me’!
  10. What a fantastic idea! Let us know how it goes…or doesn’t!
  11. And again - repeated with no hassles whatsoever. 🙏
  12. The James Oliver Band with Norman Watt Roy. It’s half time at the moment and we have already had our money’s worth! Mickey, News at Ten, Emsworth, with @Chimike PS Norm needs to catch the 10.50 from Havant…
  13. Off topic maybe, but I got into VM through the 1974 Whistle Test TV broadcast of Its Too Late To Stop Now. None of the dozen gigs I saw live could hold a candle to it, and I still rate the album in my Top 5 live recordings ever…
  14. Frankly, being a fan of both, I think thats a bit verbose for Van!
  15. You are spot on. I believe it may be 2011. I prefer the slightly bigger body, being a big bloke, but its not all that different. I envy your blocks though!
