    If it's Leeds way then maybe we could persuade @4114Effects to bring a selection of his stunning looking amps and pedals?

    Always be yourself! Unless you can be Batman, in which case always be Batman.
    My boss told me "dress for the job you want, not the job you have"... now I'm sat in a disciplinary meeting dressed as Batman.

    Bloody southern shandy drinkers who think the north starts at Watford gap.

    I don't like shandy.


    Im off the hard stuff.

    It's not so much that the north starts at Watford gap, more that civilisation ends there.
    ;)
    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

    If that's the case, I think I prefer some of the barbarians that I met in my year in Leeds to a lot of "civilised" people in London.

    I'm Manchester-based but I think Leeds is probably best for a Northern event. I would have come for the Leicester one as well but it was clearly organised to prevent my attendance as I'm on holiday. 

    There  could be  a far-northern England and Scotland event around Newcastle or Carlisle or Edinburgh or Glasgow if there is enough demand.

    Some of us have a more acceptable definition of civilisation ;)

    Well, so far Leeds and Swindon seem to be the hot candidates.

    I am mindful of the real north folk - I'll have a think about a potential really really north Jam.

    I think to please almost everyone you'd have to have a Scotland jam and a West country Jam.  It would be interesting to plot forum members locations on a map.  How many in Wales or NI for instance?

    I'd love to ... I don't actually carry much of a stock of things though - it's usually built to order. Might have a couple of amps though :)

    Ahem!!


    Can't believe no one's suggested Grimsby yet.Or if you want a bit further inland, Scunthorpe.I could possibly make the trip providing my horse and cart doesn't break down in the meantime.

    Is there going to be a separate London jam..?
     ;) 
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    OK, I'll do a SwinJam

    Will leave starting a thread until after Leicester 
    Red ones are better.

    Once the Leicester jam is over, and I've correlated the PM traffic re locations as well then we can agree on north and south locations. Swindon looks most likely, but I just need to gauge collective interest to ensure maximum coverage!

    I've got a natty formula now for background organising and logistics, so once we are post-Leicester I'll drop you a PM and work out the best way to split it. 

    Having a local on the ground would be very helpful, my intention is still to turn up and be there on the day tho.

    Def. hold off on other threads for now - I will start a new bunch post Leicester as I'm worried about sticky-thread overload!

    Please! I'm from London, and there's more culture in a yoghurt these days! It's all youfffs and dick heads in suits paying £8 for a pint of frothy water on expenses!

    I would like to be considered for the Sarf one.  I am not very good though so if somebody who is a better player came along and wanted the place then that's fine, I would understand.
    I am about 20-30 mins from Croydon but happy to drive within reason.

    These jams are all about beginners and people without live experience - if anything you'd take priority over an experienced player ;)

  • I think we should draw the line at people from Croydon. If we carry on down that road, people from places like Hull or Bolton will think they're invited.
