Hi guys.......

Had a great weekend at Big D's biker cafe in Halifax on Sunday. Facepainting all day .....
by god arn't kids twitchy! But we enjoyed every minute and raised a lot of money for a special little boy Thomas Leighton.
Well done to Tom ( another Tom !) who raised over £ 100 by been facepainted rather special... then rode at the front with the club to another venue in Baildon with an open face helmet on recieving rather a few funny looks......
But hey ho all in the name of charity, us tattooed and biker folk are actually nice people you know :)

Just to let you know also, i will be closed wednesday and thursday this week, its the anniversary of my Dads death and we are spending a couple of days together. But back to work Friday as normal.

Americana and holidays .....

Hi Guys,
We spent last weekend at AMERICANA show in NEWARK. We had a fantastic weekend. Americana is a yearly show, and if you can ever make it i would totally reccommend going. There are bikes, beer, hotrods, beer, trucks, beer, 3 stages of bands oh n beer!!! :)
The only problem we had was our airbed went down... n john and i slept on the floor all night ! but i think by this time we were passed caring !
and the barbequed bacon sandwiches sunday morning made up for the uncomfortable night! ( thanks to BIG D and the guys of Calder Valley MC ).

Our studio will
close on 17th July and re open on Tuesday 10th July.

But dont forget on Sunday 8th August i will be working at

HALIFAX PIECE HALL, at the

MODS N ROCKERS BIKESHOW.

The private studio is fantastic, im loving that everyone who visits us are well impressed with our new set up.
