It's the problem with copying sites. Unfortunately just as I discovered the map SNAFU, I had to rus off to LloydsTSB on a errand of mercy for my bank account.

Got back to an email from Tony and post from you.

The map is now corrected.

Digby, just been on the website for NESGF, did you get my picture or do you need another one? Donny.

[Digby Hardy]

Donny
Your picture is on the website now. It just takes a few days to get everything up and running.

[Tony Russell Davis]

Only one month to go. There's a number of members coming already from quite a distance - how about a few more from Yorkshire, Durham, Teeside and Tyneside? Even Cumbria is not too far, using the A66?

[Digby Hardy]

NESGF is just over 3 weeks away so for those of you who are coming don't forget to buy your tickets before you come.

Got back from France at the end of last week to find the NESGF banner had been delivered:


See you all there.

[Donny Johnston]

Hi Guys, could you give me some info on what I need to bring regards backing? I have Band in a Box backing tracks, can I link this into the pa? should I bring chord charts? could I mix and match tracks and players? Thank you. Donny.

[Digby Hardy]

Hi Donny
Do you have BIAB files or are they converted to mp3? The PA system can take 1/4" jack, XLR or phono and I will bring a selection of adaptors for other connectors. The backing track player must have an audio output - no USB.
I will have a backing guitar and a bass guitar and be happy to give you some live backing or mix with your BIAB tracks. Tony will also have some instruments.
Don't forget to buy your tickets before you come.

[Donny Johnston]

Thanks for the info Digby, I have my BIAB files on my laptop/ memory stick, I have the output from the headphone socket adapted to 1/4" jack via an earth loop. I will bring some chord charts as well just in case, it's all simple stuff anyway. Cheque in post today for ticket. Looking forward to meeting everyone, and having a great weekend. Best Regards, Donny.

[Basil Henriques]

I will have an audio player with me that can take SD cards and usb memory sticks. It can play mp3, wav, aiff or any other NORMAL audiofile format.

Just over a week to go now. I am really looking forward to this as I do all of Digbys events.
If you've been thinking about coming to this festival, make your decision now, contact Digby, and come along.
