If you like how custom guitars are designed and handmade then the story of Gary Leddington should be of interest to you. Gary Leddington of Leddington custom handmade guitars spoke with The Trout about how he became an outstanding luthier in this episode of The Trout Show.Leddington Guitars is a small one man shop based in the historic city of Bath, UK, and is specialised in custom hand built guitars, cases, boutique picks and repair work. Originally from Worcestershire, Leddington moved to Antwerp, Belgium in 2010 and quickly found himself co-founding a local Bluegrass group or two as well as studying at the world renowned CMB (Center for Musical Instrument Building) in Puurs. It was from this headlong foray into acoustic music and woodworking, along with his background in Fine-Arts that his keen sense of the visual and the aural became inseparably intertwined. Many instruments later Leddington has moved back to his native UK and has developed a sonic sensibility that produces balanced and responsive guitars and puts particular emphasis on the way they play and feel. These instruments are built by a player, for players. Aside from the primary acoustic function, Leddington also maintains a strong visual and yet minimal aesthetic that often opts for simple straight lines, uncomplicated appointments and classically balanced forms. This way the wood, which can often be dazzling enough, is allowed to speak for itself both visually and of course sonically.Leddington's passion is to create hand built instruments that follow on from the American tradition of luthiery whilst at the same time adding a modern look and feel with custom designs and ideas. Whether you are looking for a wild looking, yet roaring dreadnought or a sweet sounding 00 with custom inlays designed by your artist friend, you've come to the right place.https://www.leddingtonguitars.com/Support the showThanks for listening for more information or to listen to other podcasts or watch YouTube videos click on this link >https://thetroutshow.com/

The day Roland Orzabal laid eyes on a handsome Indian looking fellow in Bath England, (he wasn't Indian), Curt Smith and Roland became a musical force that eventually became Tears for Fears. They came to rule the world in the 80's, split up in the 90's, and reformed in the 00's. They just released a new record that's right on par with the rest of their catalog. For this week's episode of This Band Could Be Your Food, I travel to Asheville NC to talk with the number one Tears for Fears fan in my orbit, Ross Britton. We will discuss the musical history of the band beginning with their mod group, Graduate, who the coolest member of Tears for Fears is, (hint- it's not Curt or Roland), the meticulous process that the band undergoes when making new records, and prepare one of the most involved dishes in TBCBYF history.

Season 1 (Across the Pond): Episode 2 Have you been to Bath, England? It's home to Jane Austen, a gorgeous abbey, and spas galore. Ever seen Les Miserables or Netflix's Bridgerton?

005. Get to know me: Europe in a flash: The first vacation that changed my life's path was my 2001 Solo Whirlwind Tour Around Europe (7 countries and 9+ major cities in 21 days) using the extensive multi-country European Rail System in this order: London, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Paris, London, Bath England, Manchester, Dublin, Copenhagen, London then home. Whew! So that was England, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Denmark in 21 days. All before the Euro, so I had to learn the English pound conversion to US Dollars, along with the French Franc, the Portuguese Escudo, the Spanish Peseta, the Italian Lira, the Irish Pound, and the Danish Krona. Add on top of that, back in 2001 I didn't have a cellphone or google translate so it was disastrous even trying to remember common phrases in all of the different languages spoken. Strangely enough, I had zero problems. Do you want to know why? Because despite my lack of language skills in all those different countries, if I looked lost someone was always willing to help (whether it was to find a street, a monument, or even confusion over a restaurant menu) and if I asked for information from anybody on the street, I got a smile and a willingness to be of service. Even if they had to go find or lead me to someone else to answer my question. Never happened in the USA, at least not to me. After meeting all those friendly helpful people all over Europe, I came back to the USA and decided that I would retire to Europe. The place that checked off all my wants in 2001 was Barcelona, Spain. The Food, the architecture (I'm a huge Antoni Gaudi fan), the people, the beach, the marina, etc. Barcelona Spain had it all. This bold move, however, would require me to plan and strategize for the next 16 years from 2001 to 2017. From that time I started to pull way back on my spending. What's that old saying: man plans God laughs… Unfortunately, after returning from Europe my SUV needed a new engine so it was time to buy a new vehicle. I carefully researched and purchased a car that I thought would last 17 years or longer. Fortunately, my new Nissan Maxima (Black on Black Sports Edition with the Titanium Package) lasted even longer than that. As an only child, the only person that I felt would truly be affected by my move was my mother, because she doesn't travel much. She would never come to see me overseas. So I needed to get her prepared for my move sooner rather than later, so every time I saw her throughout those 16 years, we discussed and I re-iterated that I was not going to live in the USA when I retired. I also prepped my friends and other family members. Granted, some didn't like it, including my mother, but their opinions really didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't let anyone chose for me, just as I don't let anyone live my life for me. Yet everyone who knew me or knew of me, had heard from my mouth or from the mouths of my family and friends that I was moving to Barcelona, Spain as soon as I retired. Some of them couldn't wait for me to move there so that they could come to visit.

Bath is known for its ancient Roman spa, medieval abbey, and sweeping Georgian terraces. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site in Somerset in the south-west of England and visitors often come on a circular cultural trip that takes in Stonehenge and Stratford-on-Avon. But it’s not all Jane Austen bonnets, Regency dresses, and afternoon tea — […] The post Druids, Freemasons and Frankenstein. The Darker Side of Bath, England appeared first on Books And Travel.
Darryl W. Bullock is the author behind books such as 'David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music' and 'Florence Foster Jenkins:The Life of the World's Worst Opera Singer'. We met up in a previous episode to discuss Crackers in Gloucester, and throughout the interview Darryl kept bringing up Bath Tap, a bar that he would go on to frequent when he became a mature age student and moved to Bath in the mid-90s. So... I invited him back to reminisce about life in his grotty, miserable bedsit, freaky sex with a fantasist, and enormous bags of free bacon....

Good looking British towns are not rare, but few combine beauty and hospitality as well as Bath. The entire city is built of creamy limestone called "Bath stone" and beams in its cover-girl complexion. Visitors are attracted by the flower-bedecked pedestrian streets and architectural gems from many eras that fill the town. Ancient Romans enjoyed Bath's healing waters and founded a spa from where the town takes its name. Bath's 500-year-old Gothic abbey is lit with enough stained glass to earn it the nickname "Lantern of the West." Located ninety minutes west of London, Bath is a can't-miss stop.
