Rich - Was interested that you played the Nighthawk throughout the Winstanley set. Is this your favourite guitar and how many other guitars / amps do you own? Cheers, Rich.

JK - Well, my Les Paul packed up a few days before the gig. I borrowed a few guitars to get me through and believe it or not the Nighthawk just sounded the best. Technically it's not mine... (but I don't intend to return it!)

Coincidentally, Steve and Andy had a couple of Nighthawks in the '90s so I used it as a bit of a nod to that too. The downside is that it's a small-bodied guitar and makes my belly look bigger than it is!

With regards to other guitars and amps... well, you asked...

Guitars - Fender Strat (blue, 1996 USA) Fender Strat (white, 1980s Japanese/USA mixed) Gibson 335 (cherry red, 2004) Gibson Les Paul (Gold Top 1954!!! Given to me on permanent loan by Bernie Marsden) Fender Tele (sunburst, 2006 USA) Gretsch Duo Jet (1958!!) Martin d28 (acoustic, 2004 USA) Takamine EAN10C (acoustic Japanese) Fender Squire Precision (bass, sunburst, 1980s) Supro (resonator guitar) Tanglewood acoustic Maybe one or two others floating around...

Amps - Marshall JVM410H Fender Blues Junior Fender Bassman Peavey Classic 30 And usually one or two others on loan. I've owned tons of amps in the past also.
