Awayday - heroes of the guitar - The Manfreds - Buxton

From Hank Marvin and Buddy Holly to Brian May

Phil Walker and others

Great entertainment and fun

Millions of guitars

Extreme ability, average singers

Gently taking the p... with their actions, but serious about the music

Did we know Mike D'Abo wrote 'Handrags and Gladrags' and 'Build me up Buttercup'.

Zoot Money guested and wrote a lot of The Animals hits.

We fancied a weekend in Buxton, B&B at the Manse. Had to do two nights, so we did two concerts. Great value. Pop and blues. Several beer festivals.

Scrivener's - brilliant nooks and crannies with chairs and cushions. Not on the scale of Alnwick Barter Books, but a must visit when in Buxton.
