Looking forward to the next UK Cigar Box Guitar Festival.
BOXSTOCK, The UK Cigar Box Guitar Festival - 18th April 2020, Slade Rooms Wolverhampton. DUSK BROTHERS are already booked, more details and ticket info. to following shortly.
Also, seriously BIG news! "Cigar Box Blues - The Makers of a Revolution " a film directed by Virginia Heath will be broadcast on BBC West Midlands on 9th December at 7.00pm. It is a snapshot of the UK cigar box guitar scene, featuring Hollowbelly, Nig Richards, Robyn Greig-Brown, The Dusk Brothers, Dennis Duffy, Blackriver Bluesman & Bad Mood Hudson, Andrew Hall, Aiden Smith, Rob Gray., Boxstock 2018..and myself somewhere in the mix. I've not seen the full 30 minute version, only a 20 minute shorter cut, but it's going to be a cracker! It will also be available on iPlayer in case you miss it or are outside of the BBC West Midlands broadcast region.
Hi All, I am about to start building my first Cigar Box Guitars and I am writing to ask if any member of the group can share any plans they have for 3 / 4 string guitars.
There are plans on here but these are 'text instructions to follow' - this is great and I thank the persons who uploaded buy I am after drawings and dimensions that I can copy into a full-size drawing (Taffy gave me this great advice)
There are plans 'For Sale' on the internet but I thought I would ask the community first Cheers Rich
I just saw this on BBC news web site
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-leicestershire-50307204/de...
Ironically this very afternoon, I picked up two biscuit tins of uncertain vintage, but with a rustyish patina to die for. They are earmarked for later development now....!!!!
tbh, Jaffa cakes never last long enough in our house to go either hard or soft!
Just spotted Alans comment... I'll just have my cake and eat it...
Tins make cool "Cigar"/Tin box guitars... absolutely1... but on the contoversy of Jaffa Cakes - Am I right in that when a cake goes stale it goes hard and when a biscuit goes stale it goes... soft... Only one way to find out... maybe...
Well, there you go. Britain, the nation of inanity....!!! They do make exceedingly good Cigar Box Guitars though...!!!
(Old quote from Kipling..)
It was Reg, biscuit being a luxury item and cake isn't (go figure?). The revenue said Jaffa cakes were a biscuit and should have VAT. McVities claimed a biscuit went soft when it was old and a cake hardened. To prove the point they baked a cake size Jaffa cake and presented it to the revenue, to show they were just bite size cakes. The revenue backed down.
