Proposal for a BKP meet - Manchester in early 2009

[Ian Price]

I'm definitely up for it - it will be a long drive for me though. Somewhere in the region of 200 miles!!

If anyone from the south (basingstoke, reading, southampton etc) fancies going along, needs a lift, doesn't mind chipping in a few quid for petrol and feels like they could listen to my god awful jokes/commentary on the state of todays society please let me know.

Might not be able to get much in the car other than a passenger and a few guitars as I have a mini (not the old model). I may be able to 'borrow' my partners car for the day depending on if anyone takes me up on the offer of a lift.

Cheers,

Ian.
PS I will probably want to go there and come back in the space of a day.
PPS Any jokes I make aren't really god awful!

This is looking good guys, looking good!

I'll speak to the rehearsal place next time I'm there (6th Jan) and see if I can get us booked in...

[Ian Price]

Sounds good to me - how many are gonna be there?

[shobet]

I'd be up for this, the cal. is clear on the 28th so far so should be a giggle. It's the beer bit that won me over. ;)

[Brow]

Are there any plans for the night on the get together on the 28th?

I think it's pretty much taken that we're meeting up with guitars and amps at Daves practice room (if possible atleast) but can't remember hearing anything being mentioned about the night time.

As regards gear being taken, I don't think I have any amps that anyone is specifically after trying out, but am more than willing to bring an amp along and any guitars that anyone may want to try out :)

[Twinfan]

I'm not thinking of planning anything for the evening, but if a few folks are stopping over somewhere then a beer somewhere may be a good idea??

[Ian Price]

I'm probably not going to be staying over in Manchester on the 28th. I will however be bringing some stuff with me for others to try out (probably the following:)

Guitars
1970s tele
'57 reissue strat with Apaches

Amp
Laney Lionheart

Pedals
Fulltone OCD

Cheers!

Ian.

[Twinfan]

Top stuff!  I'm in the rehearsal place next Wednesday, so I'll speak to them about the 28th then  :)

[badgermark]

This might be possible... Would mean a drive from Glasgow to Manchester but i've been further in the past. I'll put a tentative maybe in there. Could bring some MQs and holydiver in a tele (i love my bar-steward two humbucker tele) and a load of home made pedals :D

[Twinfan]

Top stuff - as soon as I have a room confirmed, I'll start a new thread  :)

[Fourth Feline]

Hiya Dave,  :)

I've come in a bit late on this one - as I have been playing a semi-acoustic at unfeasably LOW volumes recently ; - am trying to introduce a bit more Jazz into my playing  - and have tended to give up the booze .  :o

However, subject to elderly cat care, I must try and get down though - and enjoy the event .  You will have done a lot of organising, and meeting the gang like this will be as pleasurable as it may be rare.

I will be watching this thread for confirmation of  times and places .

Cheers !  :D

if it's a saturday count me in, sunday can't do.

If i can i'll bring the super lead head and my prs.

[shobet]

If we're bringing stuff, I'll bring my CS tele to compare with Twinfan's. I'll put some pedals in the bag as well so we can have a play.

the night,  TO JILLY'S!!!
