I kinda hate doing these types of posts, but I should even though it feels slightly weird talking about yourself.

I'll try not to make it all salesy

The Guitar Show 2025 is coming up in just a little over 4 weeks. I'm back at Cranmore Park again. 

Some stuff that may be useful to know.

There is a new bar, upstairs by the live stage. Cranmore was working on it last year but it wasn't quite finished. It looks lovely and it's big.

A second coffee area has been added to the Acoustic Hall.

I've added The Bass Show upstairs. Lots of new exhibitors in there.

Cranmore is talking to the industrial estate about opening up more car parking spaces.

A new ticket company this year, The Ticket Factory was sold to AXS. AXS doesn't do printed tickets, so they are all e-tickets now.

You can buy tickets HERE

The exhibitor list is HERE - I'm quite proud of it. So many more than I've ever had before.

The Lark Music Live Stage listings are almost done - the info is mostly HERE a nice mix of guitar and bass performances.

Any questions let me know.

Hope to see you there.

Jason

    I've only ever bought tickets on the door so presumably I could still buy an E ticket after parking up and just prior to walking in?

    A big credit to Jason (don't want that to sound condescending)  - He has taken the UK's biggest guitar show and made it bigger and better - Covid will have been a kick in the groin and I dare say apathy from many exhibitors about returning once we could all go back to work - Then the fire at Bingley Hall - Sounds like it will be even better than before - At the time we all liked the Bingley Hall, other than the parking, but Canmore just feels like home - Cleaner, tidier and more professional and for many of us, it will be easier to get to - 5 mins of the M42

    I'll be there on the Sat helping Lee and Roland on the Fretboard Stand - So come along and say hi 

    Good luck over the 2 days Jason

    Tix bought and Rich and I are coming on Sunday. He’s prob doing his rockstar thing on sat! Will make an effort to buy @Jason ; a coffee this year. I tell you what, going with Rich is an ever depressing reason why NOT to try stuff. He makes everything sound great. Looking forward to saying hi to some fb’ers on the day
