Trams, Guitars and Automobiles

Here is a service update from The Guitar Spot... During the current tram works we are open for business as usual, you can still park out the front for an hour. When on street parking is lost there will be temporary parking available across the road from the shop. The current tram works are a cause for much confusion, we have been asked several times when we are being demolished, the short answer is we are not, unless Derek gets on the Special Brew again.....

In times of hardship and austerity great art can sometimes be created, inspired by the current situation my small father , Derek has expressed himself through one of the deepest mediums, The Blues -

TRAMLINE BLUES by Derek Wigginton

Spoken or sung as blues, country, rock or rap

( Derek & son James own The Guitar Spot on Chilwell Road )
