Hey james
I am presently visiting SG, and currently am back living in England, where I lecture and conduct research in a good red brick russell group University and play in a jazz quintet which is all the time I have for making music. Whatever time left I can scrounge, I am still building gear from scratch from triggers, electric drums, acoustic drums, guitars, basses, cabs etc...will be launching a blog type site for people to download my designs to make their own DIY versions. Will at some stage contact you when the site is up to link to SOFT, probably in late Jan/feb. it will be part instructional/ part reference blog.
Nice to see SOFT achieving a balance of posts we never got.... but this is a great service for local music. Looks very good; and if I have a comment it would be to classify the ads and make them searchable; but seriously what you have here is way beyond what we could achieve !
