BBC Introducing… Amplifyby Honeyboy Amps / January, 2018
In October we exhibited at the BBC Introducing… Amplify show at ExCel in London. BBC Introducing.. is all about giving unsigned musical talent the exposure and guidance they need to get a start in the industry. At Amplify, thousands of young musicians could choose from a wide range of advice seminars from industry experts, and get to try out loads of cool stuff from manufactures of guitars and keyboards, studio recording and mixing gear, drums, and amplification. Honeyboy Amps were one of just 3 amp makers at the show, along with Marshall and Peavey. We had a great time meeting lots of talented young guitarists, and were really impressed with the playing standard and the feel they had for retro styles like blues, rockabilly and vintage rock n roll (we get to hear a lot of metal noodling at other shows). One of our visitors that day has become and endorser – more of that later. We also enjoyed meeting other exhibitors. We were close to Eastman Guitars and Longfellow Guitars, and both of these stands took a loan Honeyboy 5w to demo their guitars with – a real compliment. And even better, they both bought one! We’re looking forward to attending the show again next year
