Thought I'd start this thread to take the pressure off the one on the Main St section.
Just a thought that folk could post if they are going, maybe even what instrument(s) they are taking, whether they are staying overnight or not and even if they can offer lifts/advice/etc
I'll start
I'll be there and I'm staying over at the Red Lion itself. I am coming either by train or maybe a lift. Either way I will be bringing two guitars maximum. Probably my MM Blues and a Sollophonic. Though if I'm a good boy I might end up with a Cannon for Xmas and bring that instead of my MM (the place will likely be awash with them anyway)
Salut to Perce!!

I'll be there, have to be since we're doing the sound. As it's a slide festival (with the correct nod to MM and his metal boxes) I'll fetch the Yellow Bitch across, a reissue l/h Strat and perhaps inflict some Taylor/Thorogood/James/Hutto hybrid on the unsuspecting ;D

Hi Andy and all, I've just booked The Red Lion for the Saturday night.
Most likely I'll drive unless the weather is bad. I'll have spaces but see below.
I'm not sure when I'll drive down or where I'll start from! I will almost certainly complete the trip on the Saturday morning but that might be from the Borders or it might even be an early start from West Central Scotland. I'm definitely returning North on the Sunday.
Many thanks to Percy for organising this.

I've booked a room for Saturday and will be travelling down with Andy S and Longtoothslim - and another car full of tin cans!
Perce, you're a star! Great idea and brilliant execution - it'll be fab to meet up with people.
Cheerily,
Gerry C

There will be some form of lumpfrication. Probably involving Marshalls. But I might show the Phoenix the inside of the Red Lion. Warning! Teeth! - lock up your pit bulls ;D And the infamous battery box might get a mic on it, you never know.

I was sure I'd answered this the brain must be going wonky, What I thought I had said once (but who knows where I posted it), was - I will bring a couple of amps. The PA which Maxx will be manning will be available for the open mics etc. but I will bring my old twin and my Trace T100 for people who need to plug in.
I guess the space will be quite cramped in the car for Gerry and longtooth, if Andy brings his Sollophonic adapted Marshall stack with him. I imagine big black Cabs with four reso cones shoe horned in. Well if he can do it to Fenders..............

Remember recently where they gathered a room full of electric guitarists all playing "Smoke on the Water" and set a record for the most playing simultaneously
Could we all knock out the opening riff of "Cant be Satisfied" and set out own record for the most simultaneous slide players?
