Very sorry to hear this news Tim. Hope you can find a new base that will do you justice. The Streets of London have a very poignant history, as I know you know. Best wishes to you, your clients, friends and family. If I could help let me know. Tim Martin.

Sorry to hear all this crap’s going down. I’m leaving London- forced out by rising property prices, no work and the general ugliness of it all. ‘Babylon’s burning with anxiety’; like the song says…

I wish you well Tim, it don`t matter where you luthier, just keep doing what you do, hopefully nearby. I did buy, and part exchange over the years at andy`s, also attended the `Forge` blues jams, before it became the `12 bar`. Good luck Tim, I wish you well. A.J.

Tim, I hope you carry on, we can’t afford to loose people like you, there will be no one like us around anymore, I do hope you’re find someone that will let you use some spare room they don’t use around you’re area.
Cheers Roger

A fascinating insight into the life of the independent craftsmen who are the lifeblood of London.

I’m not so sentimental as to believe that cities shouldn’t develop. but the way Soho’s going it’s soon going to have about as much atmosphere as Knightsbridge. When one thinks of the artistic and cultural life that the district’s hosted (and no, I don’t mean Andrew Lloyd Bloody Webber) it would be a crime to let it die.

As a musician Denmark St and Charing Cross Road was the place to go for selling, buying, gossip, and finding out who’s playing with who. Unfortunately another example of a small area of London lost to Mammon, steel and glass development.
Some great memories though.

Read and forwarded to many friends.
Denmark St was wonderfully disappointing the the first time I went there – but then I realised what a brilliant treasure it was – starting with exciting parties on rooftops, to the squished and ‘intimate’ 12 bar club, to stinky basement bars. I’m not a musician but am friends of many and it felt like a proper place for music to be made. Hey ho.

How sad that yet another business will have to be closed to make room for luxury flats. I hops Tim will be able to contunue somewhere else. Valerie
