Here's some photo's of forum members generally misbehaving, & of course, the (ahem) official forum photo featuring Gavin & Todd. Only one slight issue with the official forum photo - a lack of forum members present 
There were plenty of members there, just spread around the two floors of the event!
TBH, It was never going to be easy to nail down a time in advance, but through their extra busy schedules, Todd & Gavin made it to the stand, & we took the photo with whoever was there at the time (including one non forum member, & another "associate" member)
Somewhat embarrassingly, I was facing the back wall of the show stand having a crafty toke on my E-cigarrette thingy when all I heard (through the noise) was andrew - ANDREW! I turned around, & there was Gavin & Todd!
Anyhow, a huge thank you Gavin & Todd. That was an impressive effort given your schedule, & greatly appreciated by all
The after show party was a story all of it's own. Pub full of talented drummers, and the funk jam band of your dreams (Yolanda Charles on bass, Rob Harris (Jamiroquai) on guitar, & the incredible Nicholas Viccaro brought in specially from Paris for the gig inn drums). Absolutely no pressure then!!!!! I was persuaded (much against my better judgement) to step up this year, & straight after Nicholas too (dammit). David (Floegel) mustered the bottle to get up for a turn too (& made a fine job of it), as well as Madge's drum teacher, Liam (another fine player). Thankfully , all on stage were very supportive of this very much out of his depth drummer.
Anyhow, here's the video. I'm placed at the end (for good reason). As a side note, I was very pleased with the new Tour series kit we used for the gig. It did exactly what it was designed to do, & some! Universally praised by all who played the kit
The Video: Some truly great playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b2EDV6QT30&feature=youtu.be
I have video of Michele's fabulous jazz Tap Project acoustic stage performance & also some great photo's & video shot on the Guru show stand. I'll post them up in a separate thread, hopefully tomorrow One very very tired Andy -
