Sunday 28th October at Kempton Race Course - Free parking - Demos + clinics throughout the day

Will probably be one of the largest selection of new/used guitars under one roof in the UK, long with pedals, amps, spares, parts etc etc

Guitars4You will be exhibiting so come along and say hi - If you wish me to bring along any guitar listed on my web site, for evaluation/potential purchase, then let me know a few days before hand (via e-mail, PM, or phone) and I can bring it along with me

Not sure yet which other FB members are exhibiting, but will add names etc as we go along

    I always mean to, as I live ten mins away, but then end up not going. 

    If I do, see you there. 

    I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

    But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

    We will be there with some Modulus kits and Gryphin amps, not sure if it will be just me or if Steve or Chris will be joining me, but should be on the second floor.

    If your going to the show look out for my buddy Chris who is playing bass and singing with the Phil Harris Band.Chirs plays bass with our band down here in sunny Devon and is a great singer and player. I believe Phil will be playing a selection of tasty vintage guitars ,no doubt through his trusty Lazy J.

    Details to follow but looks like we may well have quite zones at the show with breaks in any demos etc on a frequent basis throughout the day - Organizers are looking at it - So hopefully far more bearable etc

    at 9am in the morning after an early start I judge all guitar shows by the coffee and bacon buttie - Bristol and Kempton are probably the worst

    New noise policy in place for London Guitar Show, so quote from the organisers

    'We have decided to try a different approach at this year's London event at Kempton Park where the first ten minutes in each half hour will be "noise time" (within reason) and the next twenty minutes will be quiet. 

     During quiet time, electric guitars and pedals can still be demonstrated through an amplifier but at acoustic guitar volume only. We would suggest providing a headphone facility for demos if you want customers to experience overdrive or volume during quiet times

    During "noise time" we would still ask for restraint and for exhibitors to demo at necessary and reasonable volume only. '

    To be honest that's a little tedious and hard to keep track-of. The way it works at the Birmingham show is better, with fewer, significantly longer breaks in the noise, signalled by a klaxon so everyone knows when quiet time starts and ends.
    I've been doing quite a few shows for the past couple of years, and the only significant noise problem was at the Wigan (North West?) guitar show earlier this year when a guy selling amps demo'd the things with a backing track for almost the duration of the show (to lure-in buyers?) Potential customers trying stuff out tend to be at least a little self-conscious and don't go on for ages.

    To be honest I'm glad that it'll be mostly quieter. Don't get me wrong I love a loud valve amp at full tilt, but just don't like 20 valve amps all at full tilt with 20 different discordant tunes playing.

    I'm going to try and check this one out
