Sneeky Peek announcement. The Return of The Legendary Pignose!!! In around 3 weeks we will be taking delivery of our first shipment of these classic battery powered amps. Price will be around £100 (to be finalised after we've heard from Her Majesty's Customs and Excise). If you are interested, just message me or drop me an email via the website. These haven't been available for ages, so we are expecting demand to be high, especially for the limited edition tweed and snakeskin versions. These are very cool old school little amps, and an ideal companion to your cigar box guitar.

We also will have very limited numbers of the larger "Hog 20" amp - this was my first busking amp....I used one just the other day at a festival for demoing my CBGs.

The Flowerpot in Derby has the added bonus of good real ale!

Fantastic blog write up John. Sounds like a lot of work but hopefully the takings made it all worthwhile.  Nice that your daughter and Hollowbelly supported you for the venture. Impressive stuff. Oh and nice addition of the little video of Hollowbelly on the blog too. Great touch. Thanks for sharing.

Does anybody know how to post photos in to a group such as brits are coming or steampunk guitars? I can only post to everyone but I would like to narrow it down. I notice chickbone john has posted his gig poster so it must be possible.

Mike. If you're quick today's lightning deal on amazon uk is a good looking microphone. Greg
