NancyJohnson Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Did anyone attend that guitar show at Kempton Park yesterday (23/10)? Any good or was it just a car boot bun fight? Edited October 24, 2016 by NancyJohnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Plenty of guitars and some basses with lots of über expensive vintage gear (some questionable IMO, but too much of the same on different stalls for me, with barely any room for trying stuff out if you wanted to. The guy asking the exhibitors to turn it down over an under powered PA whilst the GB stand was giving it its usual whackety, thwackety was amusing, although I didn't find it that loud compared to some shows. I didn't go to any of the live performances as these were in a totally different building. All in all, it seemed a bit amateur and poorly organised compared to other shows I've been to over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I was toying with going to it and suppose your post reinforces my reasons behind staying home with a chesty cough and watching Chelsea thump Manchester Utd. 4-0 instead.

ezbass Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I was (and still am) feeling rough too and I really went because 3 other chums were going and it was a bit of a jolly. However, we were home by 1:30 and probably had more fun comparing a few guitars owned by 2 of them over a cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
