Easter Calling

Easter is almost here once again and with it the mass eating of chocolate eggs. A couple of questions though? Why does Easter "move". If it was all about when Jesus was resurrected, surely that was one day? It can't be moved, a bit like moving Christmas day around if it was not convenient for people? The second question, why the eggs? I imagine they represent the idea of birth, or at least the promise of birth. Also why chocolate? I don't think that there was much in the way of chocolate in the Holly Land at the time of Jesus's return from the dead? I wonder if a little paganism has not seeped into the public consiousness? Hmmmm (One ponders and one puts finger to chin)

How fast the year goes!  Only a short time ago it was Christmas and all that it brings, good or bad. Now when I look at the calender I think.
"That time of year already?"
The thought then crosses your mind that you had better sort out all the plans you have for the coming year, previously you thought that you had loads of time to get tickets, book gigs, buy a winter coat (ulp). But now, suddenly the race is on! Got to book accommodation, pay for the car, make sure the tax return is done etc, etc. 
Someone once said that as you get older time seems to go by faster. I think that is true. My days are a blur of activity and the weeks get gobbled up. Days seem like hours and weeks seem like days!


T Bamford Guitar Tutor

Currently getting busy with the fingers doing their work on the rocking fretboards of loads of guitars in the studio. Welcome to new students and an open invitation to any potential new students out there! Its a great skill to play the guitar and its something no one can take away from you once you get the knack of it. So what are you waiting for? Give me a call and book some time with me and join the the rest of the happy string slingers in my studio. Always room for a few more!  

My recently aquired Vox "White Shadow" guitar has been pressed into teaching service. I didn't realise but it is quite small and great for young hands who want to have a go at the electric guitar but a full sized guitar is a bit too much for them. It was great watching the faces of some of my younger students as they put into practice on an electric all the techniques I have taught them!  I even inched up the volume when they were really rocking! 

T Bamford Furniture  

New stuff, new stuff, new stuff (well not new but fresh in stock). Here at T Bamford Furniture we are always moving on with stock flowing into our lock ups and out onto our website. Got some great new stuff that I will be putting up her for sale over the next few weeks. Looking for that item which class and charactor? there is a good chance that you will find it here! 
One cracking new development is now T Bamford Furniture can offer delivery within a 20 mile radius of NG15! For a small petrol fee I can bring your lovely new item right to your door!

The Ice Is Lifting

At last the signs are there that the winter is gradually starting to leave us. The mornings are getting lighter and the cold seems not quite so penetrating as it was a few weeks ago. There are stirring's of life here, and once again we are starting to see that there is change in the air. And not just the fact that the cat is moulting AGAIN!

T Bamford Guitar Tutor.

All is going well, I picked up a new guitar the other day. A vintage 80's White Shadow off eBay. But the hamfisted Parcel Farce managed to damage the guitar and it is now at the Rock n Roll doctors for a full overhaul and a refit. But the end result will be worth it. There will be pictures and  a little guitar story soon.

My student list is filling up. If you want to book your tuition slot, get back to me soon! I was thinking of doing a couple of tutorial videos. Not sure what, in box me if you have any requests for things you might like me to cover. Alt tuning's scales use of effects? 

What's happening with the furniture?

T Bamford Furniture.

Wow its a busy world in the world of furniture at the moment. New stock is coming in every week and I took the recent break in the weather to get some of the stock photographed outside with my shiny new camera which was great.Its so much nicer to use  a decent camera, its like it does a lot of the work for you and the results are loads better. Crisp and clear.    

Anyway, that's about it for the moment.More info in a couple of weeks time.

February the coldest!

2/6/2015

0 Comments

 
I have a thing about the month of February. It is, or always seems to be, the dog end of the year. Its cold, everyone has colds. Weird weather seems to happen at this time. Everyone seems under the kosh. The Xmas expense seems to be finally kicking in etc. Also a number of rubbish things seem to happen. And its cold, did I mention it was cold?
Anyway, lets attempt to chase the February blues away with a few bits of info from our  world.

T Bamford Guitar Tutor.

Things are jumping here! Welcome to the new students who have come on board and an invitation to anyone else who wants to learn the guitar or try out something new. Also, any bands who want to tune up their operation, give me a call, I can help!

T Bamford Furniture.

There has been a large amount of stock just in, loads of cool items that are up to our standard and if I could, I would keep them all. But I can't so please come and give them some new homes. I am looking to upgrade the online shop every week with as many new items as I can get my hands on. Furniture is the new Rock n Roll! Furniture is the new black! Especially old furniture.

So that's it for this communication. Blog you all again soon!

It's cold outside and the electric fire is turned up to 10 and we are all waiting for the next batch of bad weather to hit the UK. TBH it ALWAYS does about this time of year. The amount of time you hear. 
"Its' the coldest, it's the wettest, its the windiest day since records began".
One would be forgiven for thinking that every year new records are set and so we are gradually spiralling into a maelstrom of evil permanent chaotic weather. Perhaps we are (cue people talking about the polar ice caps) but in the meantime.....

Last month's launch of T Bamford Guitar tutor got people talking and a load of cool likes and views. Thanks everyone for the requests for other things I can teach and other ways, that's most appreciated and is now reflected on the website.  Thanks also everyone for the feedback on the guitar stories page. Expect some more from me regarding that pretty soon.  There are spaces still available in my teaching schedule. So if anyone wants to start the new year learning to play a guitar or wanting to try something new. Contact me for more information on

Rockin' In the Free World

Its early days(daze) lol for T Bamford Guitar tutor. I spent a couple of them this week telling the world about me/it (oh whatever!). Attempting to get listed and noticed. As soon as I had put up my details on the various sites my phone started to ring! Yippiee I hear you say! Not so fast! It was from advertisers wanting my valued custom. (Urg) but it has to be done I suppose. My quandary was to work out which ones would be the best to spend my hard earned money on. Still not sure so I I am having a cup of tea and writing this blog whislt listening to www.nightbreedradio.com 

Oh, I have also been busy sorting my guitars out and I have now got a dedicated drop C guitar ready and waiting for when I have to show students how to be all "down with the kids" with this tuning that is used in Nu metal and a lot of emo and screamo and well you get the picture....

Anyway, what else have I been doing. Well, I am about to launch another new venture in the shape of T Bamford Furniture. But readers, more of that in the next blog, which might be next week, who knows! In the meantime, check out the band stuff I have done, will do, am doing. Oh, you get the picture!  

On the 16th of January Death Party UK release their new single "Hellzapoppin'" and in the evening of the same day the promo video is going to be released to the WWW via Youtube and then Facebook shortly after. DPUK have their first confirmed gig Antenna in Nottingham playing as part of a good old fashioned variety show hosted by Nottingham legend Kitty Tray. Other dates are expected to be confirmed soon. DPUK are also working hard on a full length album to be released late summer 2015 with the next single already in the bag. Release date t.b.c.

Arcane Winter have their long awaited second single "Thirteen" scheduled for release on the 20th of Feb. Its a dark,dark song about justice from the grave! Should get a few tounges wagging.
Full length album with the current working title of "Welcome To Winter" is expected to come out by early summer.  The band have also netted a top support slot in October at the Bram Stoker Film Festival in Whitby with The Fields Of The Nephilim as well as a festival appearence at Alices Wicked Tea Party. Expect dates and shows confirming soon. 

Tune in next time!

I am new to this blog thing, so I thought I would just jump right in. 
Today I have launched my new project. T Bamford Guitar tutor! Its one of two new projects winging it's way to the people of Hucknall and Nottingham. 
I decided that even though I am happy to be away from the corporate conformity that post secondary education has now become. I still want to teach and to help people. So I am, as Frank said, "Doing it my way!" I have put together a number of things I can do and am floating it out there for the people to see. If you want me, I can help!  So I am doing thewhole Facebook "thang" and I am waiting to hear from you all!
Talk soon brothers and sisters!
