Twinfan · January 2020

Best of luck Mark - it's been a while since I've had a run out to yourself in Ashbourne but maybe I'll catch up with you at a show sometime.

Cheers for all the PRSs!

Glad to hear that you're going to carry on trading in some form Mark. I hugely enjoyed my day at your shop, even if I went away with the same guitar that I brought with me!

I am currently guitar-GAS free, but it would be rude not to have a quick look at your website...

42 years is what I call an innings.

Well played Mark, I consider you one of the Gentlemen of the game, and look forward to continuing to see you at the shows. It wouldn't be the same without the old guards.

Huge congratulations on what you've achieved.

Wishing you a world of good fortune good man and hope to bump into you at the Birmingham Guitar Show!

Thanks guys for the comments - Can't reply to each and everyone, so a collective thanks from me

I'll still be spending as much time on FB - After all I'm as big a gear junky as you lot

I dare say it will be a few months before the stock level is low enough for me not to need the shop - But as I said, I'm not going away from guitars and will certainly be exhibiting at many shows in 2020 - Think it is 18 or 19 shows inc Birmingham

Congratulations on bowing out on your terms. Best of luck with it all.

Sad news. As a fellow retailer (different industry) I know where you're coming from, good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future.

No surprise, but all the best in the next chapter ......

...... Pressed Rat and Warthog .....

Fez · January 2020

I for one will be looking out for your stalls at shows, all the best for the future.

stickyfiddle · January 2020

Sounds like more a "Congrats" event than an "I'm sorry" one. Good luck for the future and glad you'll be sticking around in the trade and on here.

I've never bought from you (despite ogling a hell of a lot of your online stock) but by all accounts one of the good guys. Best of luck for whatever the future holds.

johnl · January 2020

sorry to hear you're closing but all the very best for the future.

bacchanalian · January 2020

Mark, congratulations on making it to your pretirement.
Of the couple of deals we had you were always straight with good advice

Misty · January 2020

All the best for the future, good luck and well reserved!

fretfinder · January 2020

Congratulations Mark, all the best for the future. You’ll be missed, as one of the few ultra-straight and totally reliable guys around in the business. I think I’ve bought two guitars from you in recent years and the transactions couldn’t have been smoother. I’m sorry I haven’t got to visit your shop previously, it’s a bit far from me but never say never! I hope you enjoy your semi-retirement and I look forward to seeing you and catching up at a show or two in the next few years. All the best!

TeleMaster · January 2020

Wow... Good luck with everything!

fretfinder · January 2020

And 42 is of course the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything!

PetGerbil · January 2020

Good luck with your future endeavors.!

newi123 · January 2020

Sorry to hear that - never been to the shop as its a looong way from me, but spent many happy hours on your website!

Hopefully you'll still be an active member here, as the info you provide is always interesting and appreciated.

danishbacon · January 2020

Best of luck Mark

richardhomer · January 2020

Ah both happy for you - and a little saddened - to hear this Mark. Funnily enough I stayed in Matlock the night before last and saw the sign to Ashbourne on the way back - and wondered if you’d be in the shop if I made a detour.

Glad you’re not giving up completely - let’s hope you’ll be a fixture at the shows for many years to come.

Howdy, Stranger!
