Tuesday, March 21

The Music Gear Fair will take place on Tuesday, March 21, at 10:00 and run until 14:00, at the Rhumbelow Shellhole (42 Cunningham Rd, off Bartle Road). There will be food for sale and a well-stocked bar. This is an opportunity for musicians to offload their unwanted/previously loved musical items. We’d like to think that this is a forum for local musicians and friends to get together and compare notes, sell, swap and buy. In addition, there will be vinyl/record players and other related stuff on sale. We still have a few spots/tables available if any musicians would like to get on board. The event is presented by Dave Wright and Mark Hunt of The Tide. To book a spot, contact Dave on 083 353 6925 or Mark on 072 024 6917.
