Calum
I thought of you as I posted this thinking the arm pedal might solve one of your problems, then again the swivelling guitar would give you a headache, regards the hat, I'm looking for a bowler to emulate Buddy but I'm most likely to get a green leprechaun hat to suit my style of playing!
Thanks for the info on Millport festival, is it before or after the Colontrive festival Geoff's appearing at?

P. S. Danny " doughnuts " give relief for you problem.
