A new set up can work miracles...and a shout out for Brinsley

It's Brindsley's sunny disposition that explains why he's not featured on Chandler website smiley staff photos.  Exceedingly talented guy and was one of the tutors when I first joined Guitar Institute, but I'm not sure dealing with people is his true calling.

His stoney stare over his pince-nez glasses could turn any sessionista into a pile of Spinal Tap drummer ash.

Beyond grumpy.

In fact, Alistair went and picked it up and said "He's a bit of a grumpy bugger isn't he?'

But that's part of his unflappable charm

Anyway, the mystery of the pups are solved-

These- which pleased me:

Good to know, shame he lives so far away, including shipping or driving it would be close to like £300 I'd think !

Nope- I think he just gets pissed off that us hamfisted amatuers ruin his meticulous set ups the moment we fret an open Em.

Totally agree about a setup.
Think i've said before when i got my jagstang brand new it was pretty rough but some years later i gave it to rob williams to fully setup - i couldnt believe the difference and it still plays great.

That was actually a subtle pun for all the Nick Lowe / 70's pub rock fans out there.

I'll get me coat now.

Where TF is the Phantom Loler when you want him?

His mum used to be a dinner lady at my mate's infant school.

I offer this as the most pointless bit of Brinsley trivia in existence.

This was his best setup though...

I like it though.  I'm going to use it at a dinner party when another guest is boring my with tales of how they and Tarquin travelled around India seeing 'real life'.

..."And it make's you realise we just don't need money...."

"Yeah...Well... This bloke on this forum that I go on has a mate whose used to go to a school where Brinsley Schwarz's mum was a dinner lady!!!". 

BOOM!!!!

I've always thought he was a fantastic player, I love the stuff that him and Martin Belmont did together with Graham Parker - and it says volumes about Parker that HE was the grumpy one in that band!
