Oh, and if anyone is wondering, it was the Joe Bonamassa gig.

Well, what can I say? Can guitar playing get any better?

Paid homage (again) to Joe last night at Bournemouth BIC and he was so so brilliant. 8) He puts everything into his performance and, yes, he must have played around 10 different guitars!

Special mention must be made of the support act, Sandi Thom, who did a really good job on the harmonica. Never seen a girlie play one before!

He's touring the U.K. later in the year. 😀

Went on Friday, really enjoyed it. Especially the 15 minute acoustic solo of woke up dreaming, awesome stuff. Didn't enjoy support so much though, last 2 songs good, rest mediocre. And Ian Anderson's appearance, cracking!

I just misread the thread title as "Hammerschmidt on an Apollo - anyone tried it"

I was about to reply to say I didnt think the cheap frames would have ISCG tabs!!!!!
