    Cost is c£15, IIRC.  Details on the website.

    Parking is free, but limited.  Come by train if you can.

    Yes, stuff for sale.  Yes, stuff to see.

    And its a great place to spemd some time.  There's normally quite a few people around oumstand too, so plenty of friendly faces and names.

    @dareth1981 it’s £12.50 in advance or £15 on the door. Car parking is free but limited then it’s free on the streets around the venue. 

    Coffee is £0.50 a cup, so as far removed from the NEC as you can get (I worked there for 14 years) 

    i have a live stage, see the website for a full listing. 

    Loads to to buy and loads to try. 

    The vibe I Be is great. But it’s probably better for others to comment about that. J

    Nearest train station is Jewellery Quarter (5-10 minute walk ). There's also a Metro stop at Jewellery Quarter if you are coming via Birmingham city centre and, err, really like trams.
     I know in the past some people have got a bus from the city centre which takes you even nearer and posh people get taxis. Fairly sure some people walk from the city centre as well, mebbe 20 minutes. 
    I've never been unable to park for the show even if it's been on street. 
    The Jewellery Quarter is quite an interesting place if you've got ten minutes en route and quite a few cafes and restaurants. Very quiet ( nothing open)on Sundays though.

    Hello, just a quick update. I've lost a couple of exhibitors lately due to illness, lack of stock and Dean Guitars no longer having a UK distributor, but this has allowed for some new exhibitors to come along for the first time, please have a look at the exhibitor list because I think that this is the best line up I've ever had in over 20 years of doing shows.

    It *is* looking good Jason.

    I might have to have a proper wander around the show myself this year ...

    I'm saving up some bass funds for the show - and having seen the vendors I'm feeling poorer already :D

    @Bridgehouse I'll have to get the door money taken away, otherwise this could be a pointless exercise. Still a few more to go up

    I've got a short "wants" list.

    The risk is that I find a whole other set of things that I want when I get there.

    Yeah I am, send out a load of stuff today to half of the exhibitors (yours will be very soon) for them to post on social media, the whole world should be seeing Guitar Show info soon. Web hits are massively up year on year and I've just finalised a load of designs for range of T shirts I'm going to launch as a separate business. All good :)

    Who knows, maybe the people on the Sandberg stall might even be friendly this year and generate some customer interest.

    Sorry, I was being silly. I shall just look at their basses over the top of their wall of indifference.
