As a Player, Collector and User of Vintage Collectable Musical equipment from the 1950's, 60's 70's & early 80's. For many year’s I was Based in the City of Brighton & Hove, East Sussex. on the South coast of England. I do try to specialize in the WOW Factor! Weird, Oddball & the Wonderful of Classic Collectable British, Valve (Tube Amps) Amplification & Bits. I started to play Guitar in the mid / late 60's & by 1970 was playing all over the UK, later turning Pro with a hit 60's band playing all over Europe TV shows festivals etc continuing up until the mid 90's. Now I play for Fun & Me.Along with my playing. In 1971 I opened a Music store (Southern Music) in Brighton East Sussex, of which over the years became one of the busiest and best-known stores for Musicians in the south of England. In the late 80's early 90's I got into shipping Vintage Collectable Musical equipment to & from the USA. During that period much of my business was with my friend Brent Magnano at Guitar Oasis of Huntington Beach, California. Where quite a few pieces that I had shipped found their way into the (Mike Doyle) History of Marshall book Etc.It was late in 2000 that I decided to reduce my own personal collection & advertise a few pieces in the classified add’s on the internet. The response that I had was unbelievable so I advertised some more & within a few months I had shipped to a great many very satisfied collectors & users alike. I am very proud to say to date (October 2006) without One single complaint or problem. I know that you can't please everybody all of the time but so far I have managed to.
