Did anyone sign up to the petition against it ? There was a similar attempt to do the same in Liverpool a while ago.

Tremendous. I get the impression that Dan (and, of course, Dan) have exactly the same opinion of the Daily Mail as I do. John

When mine happens i'm just hoping for room for two acoustics and an electric (if i'm lucky).

Latest Fylde newsletter, among other delights, has this excellent news from Mr B. - "Proudfoot Films has completed the film about Nic Jones, and it is due to be shown on BBC4 on the 27th September. I’ve seen the promo, and the completed version. It is full of famous names being interviewed and demonstrating bits of guitar technique. There are also several clips of a good looking but slightly weary guitar maker with a white hat. Nic has had a good year, and with the substantial help of his son Joe and Belinda O'Hooley, is making a wonderful contribution to music once again. The film includes rare film clips of Nic playing, and quite a lot about the terrible car crash that stopped his career so early and for such a long time. An hour long, and very emotional.
I can't be the only one wondering if Joe will become a solo performer in his own right. He has the natural presence on stage and is becoming an excellent guitarist. He recently brought all the three family Fylde’s for a quick check over. In the film, Nic says he simply wanted to be Hank Marvin, well didn’t we all?? I don’t think it takes anything away from the other formative guitarists such as Martin Carthy and Martin Simpson if I say that in our world Nic, you were Hank."
I hope the Wool Merchant has got a telly....Though there's alway i-Player!! Keith Can this be bumped around the 26th ? I'll do it if I remember. Sounds like something well worth seeing. John

I've not been on the forum for a while so hi again everyone. I read the feedback from the last Taran Tour which sounded fantastic. A great idea and what a lovely way to try out a wonderful guitar without pressure (or embarrassment in my case). I understand that numbers have to be limited but i'd like to put my name forward. I may not be very good (honestly) but I do love guitars. A smaller guitar like the Taran Mhor would be my choice and a Spruce/RW mix to compare with my Sitka/MH 000 16GT. John
