The Annus Horribilis Continues
« on: June 03, 2012, 01:44:41 PM »
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
It's a one day at a time thing these days

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.

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.
We always burned brightest when no one was watching.

 :( ... i also believe in vengeance

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 ;)
