    Does anyone else collect stuff like this?

    Being a huge music fan, I've always loved the look of music venue/club walls, with their tour posters from bands (signed or not).

    And because a lot of the bands I like aren't that well-known (and got posters at gigs, too) I've started to make my wall of signed musical memorabilia to resemble an indie venue! Looking quite good as all of the posters are signed to myself personally.

    & slap bang in the middle is my signed photo with Eric Cantona! Can't beat it, really.

      We are big Rock fans and our study has got picture frames with tickets from a lot of the gigs we have been to. Sometimes I just stand and reminisce :)

        Got a letter from Tom Robinson, keep that in my TRB album. Also a palladium program with Tom Jones's and the Shadows autographs.

          My brother in law has all his rock concert tickets in frames , like Pootle does. Its great to look over the venues , the bands , the dates and especially the prices ! Some prices would not even pay your booking fee these days.

            Sounds great, people! :biggrin:

            Whenever I buy a house which I own, I'm going to have a music room which will no doubt be covered in all the stuff I've collected over the years and hopefully some gig tickets framed! :)

                Renovating a suburban semi recently, we uncovered the floorboards, on one was inscribed ' BUILT WITH LOVE 1937' - !!

                  If I bought the house I'd have to have that part of the house. Are the floorboards in nice condition or think the owner will have them covered up?

                      Don't even remember what happened to it, think it might have been eaten by Molluscs:sad:

                      I do remember trying to get back from the gig on my own though, at one point I was going up a huge lift on the london underground & I remember thinking, I didn't come this way going there, got hopelessly lost.
