When you come out of the tube Will, walk north into City Road. Take the right fork, East Rd, which is a big no entry (one way coming towards you) Turn right at Brunswick Place, Turn Left into Corsham St.

good directions johnny - but i have some better ones :)

check the first post in this topic... now! :D

regarding guitars - i've been requested the Steinberger and the V-Line

since i don't have the huge giant-like strength of johnny mac, i'll be leaving the 23 fret wez strat at home.

gwEm, I know I've asked this before, but what's the parking like?  Kinda nervous about lugging stuff between the place and my car in the middle of London...

Just realised, this is near Moorfields hospital.  Been there a lot.

i'm by no means sure of the parking restriction actually. it possible to park outside the place though for lugging purposes :) there might be a car park next door - can't recall... sorry to be so vague :/

[MrBump]

No worried - will try to bring a stack of change!!!

[Will]

gwEm, I am sure you can fit the strat in somewhere ;) Those Slowhands would convert any humbucker fan.

I am definately  coming, and will do my best at playing. Splinter is out (was about 7mm long :( ) and my finger is numbing up.
I am still tempted to drive so the Sidewinders can be experienced

mmm, would be nice to bring it wouldn't it... unfortunately i'm walking to the studio... lets try

hope splinter gets better!

How big is this room to be honest

I don't have earplugs, and I don't really want to go deaf, lol.. is it possible just to pop in or something? I need to go to Jonathan's to drop off and have him see to my seven-string.

And I need to do some shopping (buy a birthday card) for the girlfriend so it all fits in nicely.

So if all my answers are correctly fulfilled to my satisfaction I may actually be coming!

Will feel a bit awkward with me being:

1. Not English (I think it counts as a reason)
2. I play mostly metal and.. pretty much don't know a lot on theory, etc.
3. Er- .. I guess only two reasons then.

[gwEm]

1. Not English (I think it counts as a reason)

thats not a valid reason

2. I play mostly metal and.. pretty much don't know a lot on theory, etc.

i'm bring a Painkiller Steinberger and an EMG loaded V! i don't exactly play folk music mate.. and look at all the Charvel SuperStrats!! pretty sure we'll be playing mostly metal of some form

3. Er- .. I guess only two reasons then.

ok valid reason - stay at home :)

nah - bollocks to that mate, come down and lets put a face to the name.

[Will]

1. Not English (I think it counts as a reason)

You're Irish aren't you? By which nature you should really count yourself as British ;)
Unless you're from the Southern part. I really shouldn't worry about it, and I won't put my nationality down as British on ANY form :P I be English / Farmer.

I don't have earplugs, but managed to find some ear muffley things for machinery use, think that will do me nicely.

I don't know too muc htheory neither, and my technique has gone downhill too since stopping with the shredding because of wrist pains about a year ago. So you are one up on me there

[Jonny]

I will join in.

For all those getting the tube, you want to leave Old Street station via Exit 1, and from there, it's literally a couple of mins walk (scouted out the place today as I was at uni just around the corner) :) I believe that the building has a black front and a black door- didn't see any signs, other than one saying 2A, so I guess that's it.

Looking forward to it!

I'll have my Indie, currently Cold Sweat/Warpig, might change out the neck for a Miracle Man.

And if I get a request by tonight for me to bring my seven string I will but I doubt Jonathan will do it there and then. Maybe he'll do something special if I say its for the BKP meet :P

I'd be up for some 7 string action! I was thinking about bringing my fanned-fret 7, but the frets are needing a  dress, and i don't have time to do one. (Next meet we have, i'll have a fanned-fret finished that i can bring, i promise :))
