We all really enjoyed our first gig with new bass player Ceri Monger. Unfortunately, our van, parked in the Holiday Inn Express carpark, was broken into over night and most of the band's guitars and small items were stolen. These include all Marshalls Gibson Les Pauls and Justin's two Lowdens that had previously survived the fire(!). We are putting together enough equipment together for the show tonight in manchester, Strummercamp and are currently dealing with police and our unfortunate insurance company. We will be releasing all the serial numbers of the stolen items shortly and would be very grateful for any help in retrieving them.

Thats awful .. half of my life or more seems to have been played out on the music of those Lowdens .. and to have survived the fire and now this ! .. All the other kit too Marshalls etc ..
World is mental at times . Hoping due to what they are and who they belong to it should at least make them findable ! even in the west midlands !! .. Good luck
-
Unf**king believable. >:(
I hope the scum responsible get their just desserts.
Bad news indeed.
All credit to the band for not cancelling Strummercamp in difficult times, most bands would have done I bet.
-
Totally unbelievable :(
Please post the list and we'll get it spread round everyone just incase......
-
sorry to hear that cross bilston off the list , its a dump anyway good to hear we are still on for tonight in the unbreakable spirit of NMA .
-
I believe in getting the bastards! >:(
-
No rest for the wicked ones! (need I say was just listening to it :-\) you have my mental support GOOD LUCK we want them guitars back
-
Can't believe this has happened, hopefully in this Big Brother country that we live in there is CCTV footage of something that will lead to the bastards that did this getting caught.
-
Oh dear, you poor thieving b**tards who stole from the army, the whole family is now on to you! if you are reading this give it back or be very scared! x

:( ... i also believe in vengeance

Bastards
-
Very sad and bad news :( I hope the police will getting the thieves and that they will get the punishment what they deserves >:(
And yes its a great thing that NMA are playing Manchester tonight after the big waste .
All my best wishes for NMA to retrieving the guitars and the equipment back very soon
-
I know it's not much, but I wanted to send you all my best wishes with this new unfortunate event ...
I'd like the thieves to get caught by the band instead of the police tho ;)
-
thieves! the bastards are everywhere, in this cctv state that we live in the runts must be on camera somewhere
-
Bastards. Destructive, broken, selfish, skanky bastards.
-
This is such sad news and so soon after recovering from the fire is just so awful. Really hope you get the equipment back and the thieves get what they deserve.
On a positive note, I thought Bilston was a good venue and we got a fabulous set, Ceri fitted in so well and I hope the theft doesn't become his overriding memory of his first live gig with NMA.
Blessed be.

I've just posted an urgent message to all my muso friends out there on FB. If anyone gets offered this kit get in touch straight away please!!
Can I ask all the Family who are on FB to do the same? I guess you already have done but thanks all the same.
Needless to say, NMA played a blinder at Strummercamp despite their loss and the technical problems due to weather. Bilston was pretty wild too.
Ceri....you rocked mate!!!
-
Utterly contemptable bastards that they are, I truely hope the are found.........
I told Marshall my pair of Les Paul's are there for the borrowing if he needs them....... I'd be distraught if they'd been stolen. I can totally empathise with him n Justin.
The good news, much needed aswell, is that Ceri and the crew put in a stellar set both nights. Especially last night! Technical hicups be damned! One of the most fired up gigs in a while, and think about how good the last few years have been anyway!!!!!!!!!!
Strummercamp was BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Bad news, I feel really sorry, hope you get the guitars back soon!
...just saw a vid with Ceri on bass, yeah, he rocks!
