It's rubbish. Just a load of blokes talking about guitars, demoing stuff, having a laugh, eating curry then going out for beers after........see you there!

Some brands like PRS and Fender will be there - Gibson tend not to have a dedicated presence, but you'll find a selection of new GIbson Guitars on the PMT stand - Plenty of other major brands as well as the boutique handbuilt luthiers, pick-up, amp and pedal builders from the UK - well worth a visit - biggest guitar show in the UK, certainly regarding new goodies - Hopefully some good deals, demos, chat and banter - so come and say hi to a few FB members as well

Hello, its my show, what would you like to know? A full list of exhibitors can be found here . Fender, Yamaha, Marshall, Blackstar  & Ernie Ball /Music Man have the largest stands, as Mark said, pretty much everyone bar Gibson (thats down to them not me)

Yes, it's a good day out. More guitars than you'd see in a day visiting music shops. You can see and buy all sorts of guitar related paraphernalia, and talk to any number of guitar makers. There are live shows, which I never find the time to see, and has anyone mentioned the curry?

In addition you can meet forum members face to face.

Vegetable samosas are awesome - but don't tell everyone or they will sell out

May as well host the 2018 event in a curry house as it appears more popular than the guitars 

That lovely scent of samosa when I open my brand new custom shop guitar case. You can't beat it

Are you trying to persuade or dissuade attendance?
