BKP meet - Manchester 28th Feb - confirmed!

[Twinfan]

We're all booked in  :)

Saturday 28th February, 2pm to 6pm

Greenhouse Rehearsal Studios Wellington House,
Pollard Street East,
Manchester,
M40 7FS

I'll bring a box of beer and some cola  :)

When you get to the place, it's a big converted mill.  You'll know you've got the right place if you see my bright blue MG ZS with black alloy wheels parked outside:



As you enter the yard/drive which runs alongside the mill, walk down a short way until there's a cover overhead and a courtyard on your left.  Walk in here and at the bottom on the left hand side is a lift.  You want the first floor, third button up from the bottom (the second white one).  As you leave the lift take the first right towards all the rehearsal rooms, past the vending machines.  Keep walking all the way down to the far end of the building, past all the rooms and wooden storage boxes.  Turn left at the end here, and we'll be in the big room in the corner directly in front of you.  Any problems, just give Martin a call.

If everyone who's coming can reply to this thread, and tell me what you're bringing, I'll update this post  :D

Alright Dave,

I'll be there. Will be taking the following:

Guitars
'57 Reissue strat with Apaches
1970s tele

That's it - probably won't be bringing my amp but may well bring the fulltone OCD. Shame you won't be bringing your CS tele though although I am seriously considering swapping my amp so definitely want to give the Martamps a go.

Cheers for organising! Looking forward to it.

[Twinfan]

I'd like to hear the OCD mate - please bring it!  I just can't squeeze the Tele in, sorry, but if there's a way I'll try and bring it...

[Ian Price]

No worries mate - that CS tele has been sold by guitars4you now. It wasn't sold to me though!

[JDC]

I'll be there, I don't have any bags or cases to bring my guitar in, I can bring a load of picks...

what's the best way by train, I'm looking at google maps and piccadilly station looks the closest, then walk up?

the tram doesn't go in that direction does it?

[Twinfan]

No trams nearby I'm afraid  :(  It's a 15-20min walk from Piccadilly I think, so not too bad.

[Matt77]

I can bring my Feline Lion, Axis Super Sport, Martamp Roadstar Head ( and possibly the 1x12 with the G12m Heritage in it) and the odd pedal or 2.

[Ian Price]

Is there parking at the place?

[Twinfan]

Excellent Matt - I'd love to try your Lion out  :)

Ian - there's loads of parking outside on the road.

[gwEm]

will investigate coming! what shall i bring if so? a steinbeger, a v, something else?

[Twinfan]

Whatever you fancy fella  :)

[Ian Price]

Ian - there's loads of parking outside on the road.

Good stuff! And my offer of a lift to people in the south still stands - PM if you're interested and we'll see if we can work something out.

[tomjackson]

Count me in!

I'll bring:-

Strat with IT's
Tele with Blackguards
Gordon Smith with Stormy Mondays

Sounds good, if anybody is staying around possibly a few beers in the evening?
