I was just wondering if there is anybody on the forums from these sort of areas? I would love to chat to some local(ish) people, being so new to this I would find it very handy and encouraging to hear what music shops you go to (if you don't buy all your stuff online) and maybe even meet up one day for a beer or two and a play on the horns, when I can actually play that is!
Cheers,
Mark
