On The Isle

Well, we seem to be gathering a little press coverage along the way, which I'll gather together and show-and-tell you all later, but in the meantime, Jon sent me a couple of photos of Pinky getting a bit of a seeing to at the New Star on the Isle of Portland, which is pretty and cool all at the same time.

To quote the chap,

"As befitting a guitar of this shape I tuned it to open G and banged out some Stones. Nice."

Which sounds pretty good to me.

From here it is going to be crossing the country somehow to the East Coast, and I am so glad Jools is sorting these things out, and there we are.

I haven't said it for a while, but if you haven't yet - please donate Here, it can make a world of difference.



We're up to £680 with the Gift Aid, which is great, but we really want to get to four figures before Christmas, so...shake down your family, turn over your neighbours and before you blow your dosh on dodgy presents nobody wants...chip in. You know it makes sense. The rest is hysteria.

A Mention and The Passover

Well, I haven't seen it yet, but it seems that Guitarist magazine has given The Tickled Pink One's journey a mention in the current magazine, which is nice to know.

The foto here shows Taff passing Pinky over to John as it's journey continues around the bottom of the country..

As you can also see Taff gave the girl a bit of a work out with The Flatland Boogie Band just a few night agao too..

Cool, McChilly

It goes on...

 

A Cultural Time In Sherbourne

Sherborne Abbey

Well, The Tickled Pink One had a busy old time of it in Sherbourne... As you can see, first of all it was doing the sites, and very lovely it looks in that sort of company too, before being 'gigged' for the first time too.

Photos and details of that to follow, I'm sure, but the feedback from Our man Strumming was pretty satisfying..

"Used the TPO at a gig last night, very well received and made a good talking point with the public etc.
and did I say, the guitar sounded ...................................WICKED ! fat yet screams like its ass is on fire when you wick it up !!"

Can't say fairer than that...cool.

And Then To Sherbourne

Sherbourne, Dorset
Sometime Earlier on, like

Well, my little Pink lady has trundled on and should hopefully get it's gigging stripes by the week's end in the hands of a nice geezer called Taff.

For those of you keeping in touch with it's movements - and every girl needs a stalker these days, after all - it is just soooo on-message - it has now reached the lovely Sherbourne in Dorset where Taff has given it a fettle - the first of many running repairs over the next year, I guess - and will be doing something cool with it, but more on that later.

As for the important bit, we're upto £550 (plus £130 Gift Aid), which is good - so thanks to all who have chipped in so far.

Of course you are more than welcome to join in too Here
