The names will bug me now
Think they were manufactured, or more likely branded, as I recall others, as Soltek (spelling).
Apologies for flooding this thread, could go on, but I'll shut up now!

Thanks DavidW, I read that the treadmill had a wallchart so the 'honest" citizens outside could monitor the progress.
My ancestor served six months and a whipping which is normally reserved for repeat offenders. His co accused had previous so guess he was tarred with the same brush, one 16, the other 15.
Sounds like a cliche, but true, they stole a loaf of bread...
In the 1850's the capacity was 80 men 10 women.

Just googled Sansamp, think I"m wrong here, both did start out in the small-adds of guitar mag's however.
The Russian stuff was odd, sold from domestic premises, did a excellent big muff clone, khaki green. The EL34's were robust. The names will bug me now!
...Phil Boot, Long Eaton?

Just read this thread in full, great stuff, got me thinking!
TBI, iv'e played an EKO 12 string, it was a really nice guitar, made in Italy if I remember.
Didn't Keith Richards have a Dan Armstrong? Film backstage chatting with Jimi.
Cornford amp's are great, definitely a cheaper, superior option to a hand wired reissue.
Anybody owned a Gordon Smith?
Regarding pedal's etc, remember the Russian stuff when the wall came down, Sansamp? & others. Built like a tank!
or from a MIG fighter !

Does anybody know if the inmates had to wear masks,? no talking, treadmills regime? My GGGF was in here in the 1850's.
Found a brilliant link but was a direct PDF...no mention of mask's.
Watched Paul Merton Who do you think you are, same set up but hoods/masks, strange question I know, but children like the ghoulish details..!

or HiWatt?
If i recall it was Sound City, similar beast,
The Dave Mann's reference reminded me, bought a JTM 45 from a Nottingham Music Shop "as seen" .
Wouldn't let me try it do to power input, round bakelite..Bulgin? Picked one up at Dave Mann's no prob's..
My favourite set is a Strat' with a 70"s Fender Twin reverb,
Also sounds great with 335 or semi acoustic epi'.
Marshall's gave me ' nice' Earache, even at very low volume.
Does your playing approach depend on the equipment your using? Mine does..possibly I'm easily infulenced...

That PRS is nice....
Back to Nottingham..
Can I help you Sir?
Given, I have just walked though the door... unlikely. This was the case in Music Inn and Carlsboro in the eighties...
One Christmas eve.Music Inn...Ended up playing an Eggle through a rig Gary Moore would have been proud of!
Only had 40 quid on me.
Running Horse.. here I come..

Seems feasible, always formed A shaped bar chords with my third finger as a youngster..developed the thumb over F approach later.
Friends of mine, used their little finger for A shaped bar chords, these were people that had a Guitar Teacher.
Even today, it still catches my eye, I"ll get round to it one day...

AfferGorrit..Forgot to mention, one of the pictures in your book is Pipe St..couple of streets up from the fox & grapes.
Wasn't the F&G Sheridan?
What's the name of the pub marketside?

Fair point!
Enjoyed reading your book...

Going to call it a day on here..
Where have, what I consider, the quality posters gone?
This is an incredible archive of info, seems to have deteriorated from roughly 2014, and even more so over the last year....
How many new members have made over 20 post's?..New members?
Any advice..where what I consider to be the quality posters have gone, would be welcome.

An incredible level of fuzziness Cliffton..
I am now wondering..if the fuzziness is all mine!
Does anybody recall that Militaria shop??
-
The picture triggers a few memories for me, the demolished office block used to have jam sessions in the basement late eighties, wasn't there a car dealership facing?
Roughly where photo was taken there was a Sony shop.
Going back a little earlier..recall a shop that had metal detectors in the window roughly on the corner..over photographers shoulder.
Think I've got this location correct, the road that ran horizontally across had a medal.. Militaria shop, the owner was was super helpful to me..a 12 year old enthusiast!

The Peacock was a miserable gaff

Lister Gate, as it says. Including the Sawyer's Arms, and the big Woolworths.
I'm sure I remember another picture, shows C&A etc, to the right of the modern builds, just out of shot, there's an ancient premises, this I am guessing was after the Broad Marsh shopping centre, redeveloped as a jewellers?, Next door to Revolver records.
Also trying to hunt down the aerial pic that appears to show St Peter's graveyard, now buried under Broad March Centre..

.you went in the ad lib from st Mary's gate( remember Gwen on the door) and the beachcomber was through a small yard. The bands were down the stairs.....
This answer's a long time query for me, went to the Garage many times in the eighties, knew that Jimi Played the Beachcomber..7th gig?
From the upstairs, the courtyard was accessed from a fire escape, there was what appeared to be an unused cloakroom directly facing the doors to the courtyard.
When in the courtyard, another set of very steep steps, to downstairs, the Beachcomber? this was under street level. Also recall an arch in the yard were you could sit.
In the late 80's...this was all closed.when attending the venue. Thanks,...
Edit..not the 7th..
According to Noel Reddings and Electric Gypsy book,Jan 14th, sure iv'e seen another date also.
Think there's a reference somewhere about how pretty Nottm girls are from Noel, this could be my own observations however..

Yesterday, they were saying on the radio, that Trump's likely to go and live abroad......
Anybody recall a documentary, years ago about a Golf Course in Scotland.
Views blocked, natural water supply terminated. ..total bullying ..
Resulted in a chap becoming Scotsman of the year for his resistance...
Think Alex Salmon got a major bung in the process..
Hope Trump's not coming to the UK....
Hang about.! He's already here..10 fold...

HSR: Well we'll have to disagree on the date.
You imply it's 'ordinary' for the bible belt, maybe so but it's exraordinary performance to anyone not brought up in some of the extremist so called churches where money and outlandish behaviour are a gateway to heaven...
-ista is a proper word ending... look it up
ista..appears to be something to do with beach towels...
