New UK drum show for 2017.
- Thread starter Andy
- Start date
I had it in my head that it was going to be Simon Phillips. I should have put money on it...
Fabulous.
Fabulous.

You and me both.
Damn it. If I weren't buying a new house this year I would definitely allocate the funds to make the trip across the pond for this.

It's a great lineup and the Saturday night show (and Sundays lineup) is making me very tempted to make the weekend of it and stay over Saturday night.
Was planning to get a very early train up to Manchester Saturday morning then head back to the station after visiting the show about 6pm to do the journey home- but not so sure now!!
What to do....

Wow Andy, this is a ridiculous lineup! I can't imagine an event has ever taken place featuring this many headliners; it's quite an achievement. If you don't mind, I'm curious to know what part you've played in making this happen?
Really wish I could make the trip over for this to spend the weekend bathing in all the drumming goodness. If it weren't for previous commitments, I would.

Dear David and Liam have booked their hotel in Manchester. I know what I'd do, if I could prevail on dear Mr Madge, but there really is only so much drummy stuff the poor man can take

To think that I probably know half a dozen places in Manchester where the folks would house me for free, and they all know how I like my cup of tea... but I'm not able to go during that period!
Here's wishing all those attending a great time!
I'd be happy to try and suggest the best places for a good pint or your favourite alternative tipple, but I haven't actually been "local" for quite a few years. I'm sure you'll manage anyway!

That crazy awesome lineup, plus the fact that so many of my UK friends are displaying there caused me to commit to make the trip. I'll be the guy that talks funny so say hello. I won't have a booth but Carl from AD has been kind enough to let me house a few Dynamicx snares in his booth.

News - update! Stanley Randolf has had to honour an unexpected booking, & has pulled out of the show. The Sunday 1:00PM main stage slot will now feature Gerald Heyward. Not too shabby!
Gerald Heyward wow!
He used to work at my local GC. He sold me a Yamaha snare stand. What a humble guy. I've seen thousands of people line up for this guy in London at the 2013 LDS. Around me it's a shame because customers don't realize who he is. He's only the guy pictured in the DW cardboard cutout advert in the store.
IDK it's kinda like Vinnie working at your local GC.
Surreal.

Can't wait for this now. Booked my travel up to Manchester earlier this week.
Due to something now happening on the Sunday it's a (very) early train up then a train home mid evening on the Saturday. Gives me 8 or so hours at the event which should be enough to take it all in.
Looking forward to seeing you all.

Andy you really should have a man in the back of that truck with a few double barrel shotguns like they do with the armoured cars lol. What a motherload of Guru drums! Holy crap on a cracker.
On another note, my plane leaves in 9 hours. I'm leaving in 5 hours for the airport.
I have major butterflies. I could probably fly there myself with all these butterflies.

I feel the same! You guys are the BEST. Thank you again for the awesome invite. I love going over there and visiting you guys. Still on for horses and castles I hope? And Chiggens! And open mic jams! Maybe you can make me understand what a caek is. Jolly good!

Christmas coming early I see Larry. Did I mention I was envious and I think "I loathe you" in my best Grinch voice. Nah (who loves ya baby-swirling a lollipop and in my best Telly Savalas voice) wishing you safe travels and the best trip of your life-it's kharma from giving all those drums away you get a trip of a lifetime. Did I mention I was envious hee,hee,hee.
