Thanks all @Mizmazzle @68degreesorless @GraemeE @Aetas @prpx @IH-GARY @NickD (and others if I have missed you) for your suggestions. Off to Loud and Clear in Glasgow for a look/see. Technics SL1200 looks canny

@Aetas - you have been super helpful. Thanks. Love vinyl and am sick of listening to music on my phone.

@Aetas - so I gathered when I went into the links! Some great suggestions. Now the difficult bit - what would be the best sound be a range from Slayer to Bad Religion to Nick Cave to The Beatles to Mozart. Hmm.

@Aetas -let me guess? The best one is the one on the right and it costs lots!

@GraemeE - anything up to £1k. Not sure what the going rate is now!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent record player? Have fallen back in love with vinyl but got nowt to play my old 33s on!

@FlavourFade -love em. I need to get mine worn more often. Like you, too many to choose from.

I am around 70 days and am impressed by fading to date.
Any washes?

@chrisjohnnick - and everyone else who came up with recommendations. Good work.

Sadly, the trip is now off. Due to fly today but my mum got admitted to hospital last night. She is very ill and we just couldn’t go. A total bummer but we are planning to go back to Nashville next year (fingers crossed).

Here’s hoping that my mum’s health improves but thanks again everyone for their suggestions.

And am doing a couple of nights in Memphis as well. Any recommendations for there?

Off with the family to Nashville for a couple of weeks.

Any recommendations re: clothing/boots/hats stores. Food wise - as I am taking the kids - steak, pancakes/breakfast and pretty traditional Southern US fare. Nothing too exotic.

The Mortician - documentary about dodgy mortuary practices in the US in 1980s - worth seeing. I got it on Sky in UK (HBO?).

For those on the fence on this one, believe me this shirt is awesome. A IH classic. Buy it.

Regular updates pse @Oaktavia. Give it hell. Not that I need a reason to get this when it comes out - I will be. Just intrigued to see how it fades/goes.

What a perfect birthday present for me today: the announcement of a 21oz CPO. Here’s hoping that it will be ready for my next birthday.

Have just started watching Department Q on Netflix. The main character sports a killer Shearling jacket. So I vote for a Shearling coat/jacket.

Today is a great day. Aim next season is now to make sure that we don’t take the lowest points tally from Derby. FTM.

@DeeDee85 - this made me laugh. I am thinking exactly the same. Have the untucked and don’t need this but there again I do. Add it to my stash of ‘I have had this for years’ gear that my wife doesn’t know about which I will just start wearing one day.

Wabash Baseball Cap.

@Giles - which size bag is that? Have been looking at the brand as I need a day sack for travel/work/laptop.

@Kasi - thanks. I am a bit short so may go for 42
