https://ukguitarshow.seetickets.com/event/uk-guitar-show-london-bass-guitar-show/business-design-centre/1385905 - baffling to say the least
I know I won't be exhibiting at this event - For various reasons - Initial thoughts is it looks more new and corporate and less used - I can't see any list of any dealers who are exhibiting so not sure how you can buy on the day - Looks like none of the used display of exhibitors who exhibit at most other shows - But plenty of workshops, tutorial, repair etc
Thoughts - Comments - Who is going etc etc

The building was formerly the Royal Agricultural Hall. I have been there once, and it was so hot inside that I left after about 20 minutes for fear of my underwear perishing.
Congestion fees will apply to exhibitors for Friday loading/set-up + exhibitors can't finish on Sunday - NO access to break down on Sunday, so Monday break down etc - So 4 days parking fees to exhibitors + congestion charges
Getting to London for me being time consuming and expensive I can't see it happening although my son will be a student in Guildford by then so conceivably I could meet him for the day. Take him food parcels.
SouthpawMark said: I didn't know the congestion charge doesn't apply at weekends? Does that mean I could go in my old diesel car?
I believe other show organisers have tried on many occasions to invite TPS to various shows but they have shown little interest, for various reasons
Don't get me wrong - It is an observation and not a moan - I won't be exhibiting so no skin of my back - But compared to the buzz on FB regarding the Birmingham Show in Feb, this is like a cup final in Baku so far
it would cool if something smaller actually happened in central London.
