Hotel accommodation near Waterlooville?

[abel]

Hi Stuart, Barry, Jim, Gillian and all,

Thank you much for making my journey in UK less stressful than it was going to be.

Barry,

Novotel Southampton:
1 West Quay Road
Southampton, SO15 1RA, United Kingdom
+442076600686 and my last name is Khineche (they will issue the room number upon arrival).
We'll communicate long before that.

I'll be happy to play a couple of tunes and hear all of you play too.
I would appreciate if I could borrow any available guitar at the club.
My preference would be an 11's fitted one, but I'll take any guitar for a couple of tunes.

I would also like to know if there is any tune from my Non-Shadows repertoire that the club would like to hear me play so
that I can get the backing tracks ready and practice a bit.
Here is a list to pick from as I have all the backings for these: (I would love to play any of these tunes with the club's band)
Hello Mary Lou / The Windmills of your Mind / Maria Elena / Blues Rock Abel / Panhandle Rag / Amorada / Guitar Tango (my version) / Tear
Drop / Ace in The Hole / Solo Rhythm & Blues / Secret Conspiracy (my version of Secret Agent Man) / San Antonio Rose.

Again, than you much for your help,

Blessings,
Abel

I have provisionally arranged that my son will feed me on the evening of 26th and I will then go on to the Shadows Club before driving home on 26th. Just me, the Shads club is not Ian's thing, but Ian would like to catch up with Abel and Christina on the 27th.

Abel, Ian and I will meet you and Christina on 27th, I will finalise details in due course. When do you leave LA for Italy, ie last email dates to arrange things? I expect we will meet you at your hotel when you check out.

Sounds great Gillian,

See you then God willing.

Abel,

Thank you for the hotel info. I know where it is and I will be there to collect you at 7pm unless you want to leave earlier which is no problem for me. You can use my guitar which has 12-52 strings or I'm sure we will find one for you.

We often play non Shadows numbers in the club but I think Geoff Bearpark should answer your question.

I've pm you my phone number. See you on the 26th

Hi Barry,

12-52 will work fine as I used myself 13,17, ----52 until recently where I found it necessary for me to be able
to bend the strings and not necessarily always have to use the tremolo bar to do so.

If it's at all possible, I would like to leave a little a bit earlier to have about 15 to 20 mn to get used to the guitar (action etc...), but your
schedule goes first.

Thanks much again,
Abel

Hi Abel,

As requested I can collect you earlier, how about 6.30pm.

Barry

[abel]

That's very nice of you Barry.

Thank you,
Abel

Hi all,

Just got my Coach ticket from Stansted to Southampton.
- Leaves at 10:00 AM from Stansted, arrives at 11:50 AM at London Victoria Coach Station
- Departs at 12:30 PM from London Victoria Coach Station, arrives at 2:45 PM at Southampton Coach Station.

Geffers,

What media do you use to playback backing tracks at the club?: Do I need to bring a CD or a Flash Drive?.

Blessings,
Abel
