yeah soundcontrol had there place..and was nice for competition in Hull...some of the blokes at soundcontrol in Hull had'nt been in the job long since williams went under and some had worked in goughs before that..so 3 times in a shop that closes...now that is bad luck

SG keep forgetting that your in Hull SG. Do you know any of the lads in Bad Dog?

yeah kinda know them to say hi...am regular in most Hull guitar shops...although Andy still hates me for making him fork out for a case for my bluesbird

You in one of the local bands?

Just to get back into it again I'm playing in a 60's cover band called Brock. Andy's still pissed, damn! What happened? He's one of the calmest dudes I know

He had a guitar...old stock he had to sell from williams(a while ago) which there was no profit on as sellin half price should be...I traded a line6 (ahhh) against it....but he couldn't find case....so had to buy one on top....and these arn't cheap..so made loss alround....then they went under and and and other guy set up BADDOG

SG, we should talk, what sort of music are you looking to play?

sgmypod · « **Reply #50 on:** May 21, 2008, 11:12:05 PM »

Like most music..not much I don't like (short of doing a Britney cover band) but am kinda at an age were all the pretentious cr@p I went through when younger (like don't listen to that cause it's too comercial etc)has gone.

And hey just practicing with another guitarist sounds like fun

Also isn't it you with the Hiwatt.

that's me...I'll PM you

Now back to topic...anymore news on what's happening with the remaining stores that are open?

nfe · « **Reply #52 on:** May 22, 2008, 11:24:39 AM »

12 of the 16 that are open have been bought over by a Norweigen holdings group, Birmingham is definately one of them, don't know which others, at a guess, I imagine the ones not being taken will be Dunfermline, Dundee, London and another one, for various reasons.

I hope they don't. Nothing against Leeds really, but I hate Ken Bates - horrible mean-spirited old gobshitee. He's like the Anti-Santa Claus.

Well done Donny Rovers!

I wonder how Andy Robinson is feeling right now, having just left Swansea for Leeds?

Well, according to the guys on the sports desk in work (I work for the local paper), he's probably not feeling too good. He tried to postpone his decision until after today's game apparently, but Swansea were having none of it.

And quite right too. He had a bloody cheek trying to hold Swansea to ransom like that - "I'm fecking off to Leeds, but only if they're in the Championship".

It's like telling your girlfriend you're only staying with her until you find somebody better.
