Hello from Sheffield

Post by Bradley-Jazz » Thu Sep 29, 2016 2:03 pm

Hi everybody,

I'm new to the forum after a long time lurking.

I'm from Sheffield, England, and recently got my dream Metallic KO Johnny Marr Jag. I've also got a nice MIJ Jazzmaster I've re-wired with series switching and a PTB tone stack, plus a Telemaster self build partscaster, which I surprised myself by making a fairly good job of. Apart from that I've a Baja Tele and CIJ Strat. Oh, and a Steinberger spirit!

Looking forward to many more threads...

All the best,

Brad

What's up with Sheffield today? There's two new threads about new members from there. I guess Sheffield got a day off or something.

Welcome!

Yeah? Well I have the movie "Made in Sheffield" on DVD, which is a documentary about the music scene there from 1975 to 1983 featuring among others the Human League, Doc. I might even watch it some day!

Now I'm listening to the Human League. I assume that this is what people in Sheffield look and dress like, and if you were to go to a "pub" I think they call it for a "pint" (whatever the fuck that is), you would see this sort of thing being performed there.

Yes, all of us in Sheff look like Phil in that video (I'm a dab hand with the eyeliner myself), except for Phil himself these days:
