Title: London Guitar Show
Post by: ailean on April 20, 2009, 09:14:48 PM: We are hoping to make it this year, probably the Friday.

Anyone else going?

Anyone know if BK are going to be there? (They aren't listed on the site as being there :( )

Post by: ailean on April 22, 2009, 01:24:43 PM: Yeah , they didn't go last year becuase you couldn't sell anything. But shockingly, this year you can, so I wondered if they were going. :)

Not so simple
Only a few select traders (memebers of the MIA) are allowed to sell and they will have to be in a separate hall away from the main show

Ah, didn't realise.

Anyone know why the LGS is so against small traders? I mean there has to be a reason they are out to stop smaller companies turning up.
