R.C., there is a seventh lefty hiding behind the 4005 (a 1980 4001 Burgundyglo)...

We did play a couple of songs from the new album Peter, which is more than half written & pre production has started......

What was really funny was Tony played to more guitars than people!

And the Light Show was pulsating in harmony to the beat!

Yes it was, Peter. The LS really liked the Rampant Carnivores performance (they were great!).
Well, I must say we came from Spain to the confluence and really had a wonderful time, absolutely worth the visit.
Mike & Becky were the perfect hosts, we'd like to thank them for their help and attention with us. The place was perfect, we liked the food a lot, and we had the chance to bring some little help for the Breast Cancer Care.
It was such a pleasure to meet and chat with Graham, Peter, Lindsay from USA, and all of the people we knew there. Of course, the number of guitars present at display was impressive, I specially enjoyed playing the couple of acoustics (thanks again, Mike). The Graham and Peter ones were a delight, it was so special to see all these instruments together, as it was the Weller 330. And the Mike booth was g.a.s. temptation...

Fabulous photos from the UK! You have all "raised the bar" with the success of the inaugural UK Confluence. Great to see such a variety of our favourite guitars and basses! Well done and thanks for the updates.

I think the count was around 78 Ricks! Where else could you see bluebursts, the latest issue 1996, Rickenbacker acoustics, a Rickenbacker mandolin, 7 lefties (including a 4005), plus vintage and (nearly) new 6 stringers and 12 stringers. Thanks Mike for all your hard work, free grub, free entertainment and most importantly - providing a venue where it could all come together.
Where can I get my tickets for next year?

An additional word of thanks to forum member Robert Callaghan (Red_rob), he unfortunately couldn't make the UK Confluence, but contacted me this morning with a very generous donation for the Breast Cancer Care Charity. Many thanks Rob.
