Earth Hour, Summer Time and the Countdown Clock is ticking

Only 8 days left of our 15th Anniversary Year…and to win a Bailey Guitar

The first lambs of the year were born this week, and it is an amazing reminder that the circle of life goes on and on  – this is the tenth spring we’ve seen here and very soon Bailey Guitars 16th birthday will be upon us

Earth Hour is TONIGHT at 8:30pm millions of people across the world will turn off their lights for one hour as a global act of unity – if everyone has a go it is hoped that whole areas will go temporarily dark, but it’s more than that…its a global campaign to highlight  some of the fantastic projects happening across the world.

Here’s what happened last year   Earth Hour 2013-lights go out around the world

We’ll be asking Steve from Inverness to make sure the lights on his custom Archtop –  The Spaceship – are turned off and we’ll be doing the same with our low energy LED’s and covering the solar light and watching the live updates on our laptop under a blanket (!) It’s pretty dark here most of the time anyway, but as we know well here at Baileys…every little helps

We put a lot of time and effort into making our guitars as planet friendly as possible – it makes sense on so many levels…  and campaigns/events like Earth Hour are part of a much wider movement of individuals and organisations working to reduce waste, and make life fairer and healthier for all humans. In itself, reducing electricity consumption, or using reclaimed /FSC/ fair trade materials simply saves resources, but the shared & united action of all of us does much much more – highlighting to governments and large companies that we aren’t all just about getting our stuff cheap or at the expense of someone else

Making concious choices is really what Earth Hour is about  – and letting those who make the big decisions on our behalf know that our opinions matters, and that we do actually care.

We think this is partly how we have managed to survive these last 15 years as small builders – we are not really a business..more a part of the global community  – here and abroad. Our “customers” are people who have made a conscious choice – it’s become a community of its own.

Thanks to you all for your support with everything we’ve done  so far..

So get your lights out, put the clocks forward and bring on the summer.. Bailey Guitars will be sweet 16 in just over a week…
