Saw the Stones in1990 was working as a roadie in the local crew, building the stage and driving the senior roadies around the sights of northumberland. A weeks work in total. They were on at St. James Park Newcastle. Greatest free gig Ive ever been to . Sorry but I think they have lost their OOmph a bit these days, and I certainly wouldnt pay £100  to see an act these days, espescially in a stadium where you would need binoculars to see them.                                                                                                                  Gav.

Just as Zurf says 3/4 size. Its a nice little guitar. Just bought an EN-20 Takamine Jumbo, if I take that wor lass will have to stay at home.

I have just come back from Fuerteventura. I took my mates Baby Taylor, I also took it there in December, both times as hand luggage. This was the only hand luggage I was allowed, and it is only a small travel guitar. Both times on a Thomas Cook package holiday flight. The Newcastle baggage check hummed and hahed both times but I had already cecked it out with their head office as to be ok. The Spanish side no problem at all. And it had to be in a soft case for the flight. I would always worry about taking a good full size guitar away even in a hard case when I see the cases flying round on the baggage carousel.

I second that Arkady I saw Ten Years After about 3 times in the early 70's and Alvin will always be one of my guitar heroes.Love Like A Man, boy thats a riff.

Paul Rodgers from Free was from Teeside.

OOPS Sting.

In Newcastle England it would have to be The Animals and then Lindisfarne.

Taking Baby Taylor for some fun. It will be hand luggage in cabin think I should loosen strings a little for flight. Would that be the right thing to do? Grateful for any advice.
Thanks in advance, Gav.

see the 'hey there' post. I drilled through th end of my index finger left hand . just kept on trying until it didnt hurt . I had a go at playing the chords without the index finger but struggled with that.Finger still feels funny after four and a half months but at least it doesnt hurt and I can enjoy my stuff again.

was drilling a metal plate just before christmas and the bit in my drill snapped ,it was a 5mm drill bit and it went through the nail of my index finger left hand, right through and into the wood the plate was clamped to. What a mess. Fretting hand, ouch. Did'nt play for months, whenever I tried it was so painful. But now I've been back to it for a while Ifind I cant put the guitar down cos I missed it so much. Learning Wherever You Will Go by The Calling at the moment and just loving it.

1. All right now. Free
2.Wont Get fooled Again. The Who
3.Messin With The Kid. Rory Gallagher
4.Split Part Two. The Groundhogs
5.Faith Healer. Sensational Alex Harvey Band

They were the first 5 that came to mind . If I thought a bit longer it may change. But all good 70's stuff.
