Like I told Simon, I wish I could do more, but, my very selfish and insatiable apetite to keep guitars always leaves me BROKE!

Sands · #77 09-23-2002, 12:06 AM

Damn! I wish I could go, but I've already booked a UK trip in December. I need a sponsor!

I played a short UK tour last Spring and the audiences are awesome! They're really serious about music and take great pride in their pubs.

Anyone up for a jam in December?

-Eric

Kevan · #78 09-23-2002, 11:01 AM

A jam with Eric Sands?!?!?!? Oh man....that would be AWESOME.
Guess I'll just have to wait for JF2003 here in the US.

Added Raffle Prizes:

(1)- Rusty Cooley Instructional CD-ROM "The Art Of Picking", courtesy of Rusty Cooley.
(several)- Jemfest 2002 t-shirts from the USA. We'll be sending over various sizes and a couple of each style.

I hope you guys have a good time. We'll get pics and videos up ASAFP.

Rock on!

Well JEMfest UK made in into "Guitarist" magazine this onth with a couple of column inches that should crash Simon's inbox

I can't believe I'm actually 100% on schedule to, dare I say it, attend a JEMfest

Thanks to Tony Marchant for arranging this raffle prize:

250 custom logo picks done in a design of your choice by

Ian at GUITAR PICKS UK

Picks can be either plain Black or White with the winners name or band name on.
Any design or font type is possible but too much detail ie: pictures etc will look too messy.

Here are examples of the picks as used by Jemfest UK performer Taylor Gray

Well,

In Jemfest Publicity Machine mode I was out treading the boards today and got Jemfest Posters / flyers secreted all over Manchester in strategically helpful spots!

Soundsgreatmusic. They took a bunch of posters/flyers at the desk and a poster on their posterboard. Only place I spotted a VSBL and a JS BTB at!

Manchester University Students Union. Not entirely sure that this will even get noticed as it's freshers week and most of the campus areas for Manchester University, the Poly and UMIST where awash with thousands of giant A0 posters advertising cheap booze, clubs, free condoms and other assorted Student stuff!

Johnny Roadhouse. Dropped a poster onto their posterwall.

Academy of Sound. Also took a handful of flyers to hand out and a spot on their posterboard.

Soundcontrol. Were very helpful. Got a Jemfest poster up on the wall behind their Wall-of-Ibanez and a couple for sticking around the store. Great Stuff!

Now I'm pooped. On the plus side I did see one of the Korean through neck RG's (nice) a leatherette finish Ibanez (camp!) that I'd not seen before and a Custom Lowden acoustic that nearly made me wet my pants it was so amazingly beautiful.

Further Publicity...

I have sent a gig listing to
Kerrang.com

There is a thread on the Future publishing BB on Jemfest UK

I have emailed Guitarist.co.uk for a web listing

I am trying to get a link on Pinnacle Entertainment (the record company released Rob's album on Monday)

I have sent a shedload of emails to my friends telling them about the gig.
