Been lusting after this guitar...



I had a look in a couple of guitar shops in the States for a Gibson BFG, but they weren't shipping yet. Mores the pity, as the usual £ = $ price hike in the U.K means that I can't justify buying one for the foreseeable future.

But I love the look of this guitar. When you hand over your Les Paul to another guitarist who's broken a string you end up worrying about the pounds being knocked off by his belt buckle. Hand over a BFG and he'd be adding character.

So I'm blogging it here to get it out of my system. And in case anyone gets a sudden urge to buy me a surprise present ;)

Practices for upcoming gig

A couple of practices under our belt, with a couple of new songs (including one I wrote many years ago currently getting reworked as a Scuzzbuckets song) in preparation for a gig on the 23rd of September.

Boys Are Back In Town

Well, almost. My hike in the States for a month, Jamie's work/holiday in Brighton and the States, and Gary's trip to Spain has meant we've all had an extended break and are itching to get back gigging.

Gary's due back in a few days, so hopefully we can hit the studio again and get back to speed with some new songs (covers and originals).

But family in Australia mean Gary will only be back for a short while, so chances are we'll only squeeze in a one gig somewhere.
