How many of us are in the UK?

Post by leftyguitars »

The title says it all!

Who is in the UK? And (for those in the UK) where abouts are we? I'm in North Yorkshire.

They have this pier there, and Tony told me about some women who apparently...

I'm a Manchester lad myself but I'm currently earning Rickenbacker funds down in foggy London town. How are the guitar shops up there in Yorkshire, Peter?

Does this round out the field guys? How about someone from Liverpool.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

I've thought about a UK confluence, it would be great to get together for a day & talk about all things Ric.

I would be all for it Graham. Where we do it would be dependant on where is central for everybody I suppose. Living in Devon, no where is close, but South London may be too far for our more Northerly friends, so the Birmingham area would perhaps be an option?

Perhaps a new thread is called for!

Rob, the guitar shops around here are not so hot. Musicground in Leeds has the best selection, (but at Musicground prices!) and there is Electro Music in Doncaster, but apart from that you will struggle to find any decent American guitars.

Graham, I think that the best place for a UK meeting would be in the pub in my village (the reason being is that I won't have far to stagger home!)

Seriously though, I'm up for a UK confluence if it can be arranged. Let's go for it!!!
