Proposal for a BKP meet - Manchester in early 2009

[Twinfan]

Following on from the London thread, I've had a bit of an idea...

How about if I arrange a rehearsal room at my band's usual place in Manchester.  We can hire a room for the day on a weekday or a Saturday, and I'll bring my collection of Martamps (plus my modded Klipp) and some of my guitars.

BKP forum buddies can come along, with their own guitars/amps/pedals, and we can chat/drink beer/try out each other's gear etc.  This way, we all get to meet each other and try out Martamps/BKPs and anything else you want to bring along.  For example, Wez could bring one or two of his guitars if he's attending.

If need be, I can get the beers in beforehand and everyone who comes chucks in a fiver or whatever.

Whaddaya reckon?

Sounds like a BKP NAMM Show.

Sounds like a plan to me. Any cheap recommended hotels up there?

Depending when it is i might be up for it... the will is certainly there its just whether there is a way or not!

Its actually easier for me to get london... or more importantly get back to burton on a sunday from london... better if someone from around this way is heading up and i can hitch a ride.... ;)

Manchester?

I've heard tell of the place, to be honest I thought it was just a myth.

Is it somewhere near Norwich?

Lots of reasonably priced hotels in and around Manchester I would think - Travel Lodges and the like.  I can help out with finding somewhere if required  :)

I take it you want me to bring *that* Tele, Ian?  ;)

Sounds like a plan to me!

I'd either go up the M1 - M62, or up through Matlock/Buxton and then up through Stockport, so I may be able to either pick someone up etc if required :)

If beer/drink is involved, then I'd need a hotel too if anyone has any suggestions  :lol:

Great idea Dave.  Not sure im going to humiliate myself playing but would love to come and check out the amps pedals meet people and drink beer.
