Post by: Spitfire on June 07, 2008, 08:14:09 AM
Im from West Yorkshire, Huddersfield to be more precise.  Im just wondering as most ppl hear are from the UK.  Might help everyone finding local people find others to talk about the shops/rehearsal rooms and anything etc.

I estimate that I have approximately 5% of Brian Robertson's talent ... so sadly no  :D

It's in Cheadle, about 20 mins out of the city centre.  If you're going by train, the nearest station is "Heald Green", and it's about a 20 minute walk from there.

Currently I live in Birmingham, but I'm moving home to Dunfermline in just over a week, where, in a town with 4% of the population there is 10 times the amount of live music  :lol:

And, fingers crossed, with the Soundcontrol now owned by a single person who I know and who's a proper gear nut, I might eventually have a good shop in my hometown. :)

Born in Swansea, lived there until I was 18 (apart from a year in Belfast), went to University in Bath, lived in Hemel Hempstead for a few years, then moved to where I am now. And I'd love to move again, if I can ever get organised into doing it.

I was born in Victory Memorial hospital in Brooklyn, a borough of New York City.

I was raised in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn, later moved to the Bensonhurst section of ... Brooklyn! My family lived right where Saturday Night Fever and The French Connection was filmed.

Since moving out of my parent's house, I have lived in the Marine Park, Gravesend and Gerritsen Beach sections of Brooklyn. The record store that was blown up for the move A Bronx Tale was located right on the corner of my 2nd apartment.

I'll raise a glass to Essex girls - my sister is one, and my wife is now an honourary Essex girl, albeit via Coventry.

I'm an Essex man, a county that I love dearly, for all its peculiarities...  such as aggressive drivers, pollution, and Basildon.  It's also a place where you find some of the nicest people in the world.

I dare say there are horrible bits, but it's a pretty big county.

I'd second that motion.
My dad's an Essex boy, and my grandparents live in Essex, and it's great around there! Everyone's friendly, the countryside is gorgeous and goes on forever, there seems to be about zero crime...
I guess it's like anywhere - there's always gonna be the dodgy bits...
