News for 2006:    (past news for 2004 and 2005)
 

PROJECTS

Because of the obligations at my day-time academic job and the increasing time spent on my musical
endeavors, I have decided to (almost) take a break from my amplifier service activities. Until further
notice, I am therefore unable to take on any projects from new customers. The little time I now have
available for amplifier work I will dedicate to completing yet-unfinished projects and servicing
my regular customers.

Note: I am often very busy during weekday working hours (09:00 - 18:00) and will typically not
be able to answer any phone calls during that time. To make sure I know you have tried to contact
me, please send me an SMS or email.

GIGS

I'm happy to announce that there will be new performances by the blues band Vintage Vibe. The
addition of a female singer and my pedal steelin' has given this band a new exciting sound. Here

The Master of the Telecaster Redd Volkaert will visit Sweden in October this year, in conjunction

guitars on display.
