For Equipment we are now stocking and supplying Scott Dixon flight guitar flight cases and cabs, these are the only way you can fly 3 guitars around the world whilst only getting a small charge for excess baggage, these will save you on average  $50 to $100 per filght, I can supply the new up-dated models  as well as being the sole supplier of a new product called the scuff coat, this is a new idea to prolong the case exterior by covering the aluminium  exterior in a removable water resistant and lightly padded membrane which adds a little weight but protects your investment when touring in a truck or van.

We now stock Peterson rack tuners as well as the new Flip along with the old school styles as well.

I am now proud to have an alternative to sennheiser, Line 6 have supplied me with 3 all new Digital wireless systems, these are not the Anti Christ of the wirless world as reported and as the uneducated will realise in time, they are the future in wireless systems!

Drums bloody drums, bloody drummers, being a drummer isnt easy i know and its not cheap as i have been discovering, after years of hesitating i am moving up the world and have purchased some nice 9000 series DW hardware, tasty stuff i must admit and im kinda getting the drummer vibe now and can offer a Orange County kit , a Precision kit along with a new Tama superstar kit with double 20” kicks, snares are also building up with a star classic, an Orange county, an early 80,s Tama superstar, a Premier Stainless Bohnam, and a few others on offer.

Happy Nu year to everyone who knows me and understands why they did not get the Christmas card, I apologise for not being into the consumer trap.

The new year brings new opportunities with Charlie in the US with Still Remains and me doing pre work for Dimmu and Chimaira for the new year,the new workshop is being worked on due to the ever expanding backline business bursting through the doors of the old place, tons of new stock, tons of new ideas and new products, its going to be an outstanding year for metal, wait and see.

~Martin

Charlie is currently out with Still Remains supporting Bullet For My Valentine across Europe and Martin is preparing for his next adventure.

Martin has a few days left and he is back from a massive euro tour with Dimmu Borgir then he is back out with Chimaira in the USA and back just before Christmas.

November 12th - I depart for a Winter Euro Tour with Still Remains, support for Atreyu. We’re also with Dimmu’s opener ‘Engel’. I’m really excited about this tour so it should go very well!

The show was brilliant, Dimmu’s performance was outstanding!

Expect the video and audio track to be awesome!

It’s all going well.

Oh and check the video Trivium made. It uses some of the footage I shot whilst on tour with them.

Well, thats if you minus Nathan’s (Madina’s lead singer) lip injury and the tour bus breaking down. However, the Chicago-boys are putting on some brilliant shows, Nathan’s lip has now nearly healed (although continuing the show like the legend he is didn’t help!) and the tour bus is now back in action.

The band are playing Yeovil tonight and The Cockpit in Leeds tomorrow night.
