Acoustic Bliss and Bailey Guitars
Acoustic Bliss is the name of our ‘open mic’ night which is now over 7 years old.
I always wanted to make guitars by day and play them at night and Carol loves singing so it was our escape from work – a night out and a bit of fun. We never took it very seriously as we don’t consider ourselves professional musicians by any means but it is great fun!
Over the years we have made lots (hundreds) of friends who have all supported our ‘special night’ either by sharing their wonderful music or just cheering us on from the sidelines (or helping to lug the gear).
Until now we have always kept Bailey Guitars separate from Acoustic Bliss as it was our ‘bit of fun’ but truthfully we have always ‘sponsored’ AB (for want of a better word). Most people use my guitar when they play – or bring their own Bailey I have built for them (it is not compulsory:) and all the rest of the gear is ours.
It has often been said that we should film ‘Bliss’ as we all seem to have such a merry old time and wouldn’t it be great for some of our amazing musicians and singers to reach a wider audience…and I would love you all to share my enjoyment watching and hearing my guitars ‘used in anger’ LIVE and onstage!
So – after a lot of thought and not a little expense we bring you:

‘Twas in that place o’ Scotland’s isle,
That bears the name o’ auld King Coil,
Upon a bonie day in June,
When wearin’ thro’ the afternoon,
Twa dogs, that were na thrang at hame,
Forgather’d ance upon a time. – Robert Burns
