As it happens, the possibility exists this year of getting back together with Claytown. Apparently they have an ‘in’ with the Download festival at Donington, and Christian (the singer) tapped me before Christmas to see if I was up for it.

Allegedly the whole thing with replacing me and not telling me was an email snafu. Odd, since all the other emails I sent got through to him, but still. Benefit of the doubt, etc.

Claytown Troupe – I remember going to see you play with them at the Joiners in Southampton – turning up in a suit and being mistaken as an A&R man by the student acts you were on with.

Mentioned it at work the next day and a bloke called Glen said “Claytown Troupe – I met the lead singer once. What a wanker”

Yep, all is going well all things considered. A few more collapsed bands, a few more pints drunk, a few more wrinkles, you know how it goes.

The 540PII is due for a re-release, you say?? I shall have to look into that… I still miss that guitar.

Just writing to say hello and not much more………;-)

Oh, I own a RGR321EX…it’s nice. Thinking of swapping out the fake “designed by EMG” pickups for an 81 and a 60 (usually config). I play with a Spider 3 amp which is really cool, although I can’t turn it up too far or it will destroy my bedroom wall (think Leftfield and Brixtn Academy).

Was looking at your 540II, apparently due for a re-release. May have to invest or grab a vintage 1. I luv reverse headstocks.
