That’s terrible news Peter...like you, through conversations with Gavin, I knew it was coming but it’s still a shock. He was indeed a character, a great guitarist and all round nice guy and came across as a loving family man..so sad...rest in peace big fellah...

I’ll let him know Bruce, he’s having a knee replacement...seems to be a reoccurring theme around here when Bill is having a cd launch!😀

It’s yours Douglas, let me know your email address and I’ll send the ticket off to you...I think you’ve got my email address? Andy

Hey Ian! Really good to hear from you fellah, been too long! I don’t visit Dreamsville as frequently as I used to, though I’m keeping pace with our Bill’s output, so it was a nice surprise to see your post! Hope all is good in Felixworld and that we’ll all meet up again at some point...maybe at November’s cd launch? Andy

@Jon Thanks for your detailed reply Jon..I know it’s a bugger to get things absolutely spot on and please everyone and I‘m sure I’ll get accustomed to the new forum in the long run....I just though a little feedback on how I was finding it would be of some use to you..and by the way, I’m on Virginmedia 100mbps broadband and have never had any issues with speed and loading.. Keep up the good work matey...you and the others do a grand job behind the scenes..👍 Andy

Having used the new forum for a while now, just a few personal observations.🤔 Yes, it IS slow to load compared to the old forum..a backward step?🥴 As much as we all love Bill, the constant loading of his images when clicking on something starts to irritate..and adds to the slowing down of pages loading?🤔 The ’Join our mailing list’ banner is EVERYWHERE! and very annoying..😤 It’s a little harder to navigate than the old forum, probably because of all the above..I know it’s all new and shiny and with time will probably get used it, just thought I’d point out a few niggling issues that for me as a user detracts from the excellent content that is now available here..🤭 I very much appreciate what Jon and everyone has done to update the old forum, which needed a makeover and I hope I haven’t upset anyone with my negative comments.....just a few tweaks here and there might help...🤐 Andy

Oh, I,ve found it..don't panic!👍

I might be thick here, but I can't see a messaging/chat box at the bottom of my screen...😕😕😕

Very slick! Well done all involved that put this together....makes it much easier to post photos.. I shall look forward to playing around and exploring all the new features! 👍
