Oh good - you are back posting here after six month's absence! Will be in your neck of the (Padley) woods next month, staying in Froggatt for a few days. . . Looking forward to it.

Moonbuilding Summer 2025 issue

Woohoo! Just arrived. Wonderful read (and listen). @moonbuilding.bsky.social @castlesinspace.bsky.social @loulayorke.bsky.social

Well I recently bought an Erica Synths Black sequencer so mostly use that now (or indeed the Keystep) but still have 2 A-156's which I use with my Klee sequencer.

Yes, I would say that it is not what it was when I joined around 2011 - and I would say that second hand prices have dropped significantly since those days. I still have a Quantizer amongst many in my unfulfilled search for the perfect quantiser ! (I hate the AADAC one!)

Have you tried Mod Wiggler? You have to have 50 posts though and you have to state a price (not just offers). I must admit I haven't used it for ages and the few things I have sold were through Reverb.

Well it took me ages to get over the change from Windows 3.0 to 3.1 - and don't get me started on 3.11 . . .

Book: The Pinecone by Jenny Uglow - the story of Sarah Losh

Jenny Uglow's book on the story of the Pinecone is an excellent read. What an amazing person Sarah Losh must have been to achieve this against all opposition.

Bring PRS into the 21st century and drop the anachronism that is the Exclusive Assignment which prevents PRS members being competitive in a global market.

The Pinecone church in Wreay in Cumbria

Have you ever visited The Pinecone - St Mary's church in the village of Wreay in Cumbria - a wonderful place designed by Sarah Losh (q.v.)

If you mean my chap - he is Grian, of course! (He once went down really badly at a Sunday lunchtime gig at a working men's' club in Leith. One of the audience was heard to say afterwards'I couldn't understand what the wee fella was on about').
