This is a new show in Manchester, dedicated to the black stuff. I'm here helping Nick of Long Dog Audio out. Just got the room set up and now having a well earned beer.

If you go on Sunday be warned. City are playing at home. Kick off is 16:30hrs, so to avoid the worst of the traffic leave the area by 18:15hrs, otherwise you'll get caught in match day traffic.

Good tip!

Another tip - it's a fair bit less expensive to use the Metrolink to get there (the venue is a couple of hundred yards down London Road from the lower entrance to Piccadilly Rail Station), and there are a number a park and ride locations, for which the parking is free.
Driving in from Lancaster there's massed parking at Whitefield and Hollinwood. You'll still need to keep an eye on the time because of the match.

How does it sound, Ali? I know hotel rooms are often unkind to good sound.

Planning on using the train, Chris. In which case make your way to the Fairfield St entrance, not the main entrance.

To confirm then, Jules and I will be at this do on Sunday. Chris (Strat) tells me he will be there Saturday and Ali, David (of the mains cables) and Nick(?) will be there for both days. Is that correct? Any more folks thinking of going?

I really enjoyed this show, found it very worthwhile and hope they do it again next year...
Great to meet Ali finally and Nick of LDA - his room was the dog's...
I will try to do a proper write up as soon as I can.

That's a superb album you have propped up against the rack Ali!

I only went in 3 times as was in my own room but it sounded superb as Nick's room always does.
Dominic's turntable is awesome, he has a new SLATE platter mat which was also superb and his new cartridge.
Put it all together as a system and it was majestic.
The amps, well I own a pair never get rid of these ever!

Yes good you meet you guys, it was a fun show all round. We got quite a few "Best sound of the show" comments, so I guess we were doing something right. :-)
Yes David is right, the NWA Garrard was sounding great, and it was good to see Dom and Natalie again.
