On Saturday 13th November 2010 we went to London Olympia to The Guitar Nation Show – an enjoyable day, which we rounded off, as usual, by a visit to the Hard Rock Cafe. The other memorable thing was that we brought back bad colds, due to the crowded tubes and buses !. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the train going, Robin had a Budweiser – so what, you might ask ? Well, here is a photo of what must be the world\u2019s most expensive \u201cBud\u201d at \u00a33.95 per bottle !!! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Move your cursor over the thumbnail to get a good view !!<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, although I had taken my \u201cgood\u201d camera with us, I had left its battery at home, still charging \u2013 oops! Good thing I had the mobile phone with me, but unfortunately not such good quality pix. <\/span><\/p>\n

Robin enjoyed meeting Trev Wilkinson, who I hadn\u2019t heard off, but is a well respected guitar innovator, the brains behind Fret-King and Vintage guitars, and recently the driving force behind the newly-unveiled self-tuning bridge, (being demonstrated). <\/span><\/p>\n

We also had the great pleasure of meeting Albert Lee, (who I <\/span>had<\/span> heard of !). (Picture taken by Trev !) In fact we\u2019ve been watching Albert perform since our late teens when he used to play with Country Fever at The Nashville Rooms in London. He\u2019s a very well respected figure in the music business, featuring with virtually every big name in Country music in America, including Vince Gill, Linda Ronstadt and the Everly Brothers. He was kind enough to stop for a short chat and to have his photo taken with us – a lovely bloke, so quiet and unassuming but with a massive talent ! <\/span><\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t come across Albert before, check out the following: http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/albertleerockabilly\/music<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Also, this will blow your socks off – <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just for fun, I took a photo of the worlds\u2019 most expensive guitar strap, at least, a replica of it, as they wouldn\u2019t let him exhibit the one with the \u00a325,000 diamond in it !!! <\/span><\/p>\n

All in all a great day out, keeping up-to-date with the latest guitars etc., meeting some super people and making useful contacts. Roll on next year !<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
