Kingfisher Music Company Lays Down The Law To Fleet Musicians

Musicians in Fleet with a soft spot for rock lore/ cult film references might appreciate the following:

Fleet-People stumbled upon this fantastic nod to fanboy favourite 'Wayne's World' while browsing in the Kingfisher Music Company shop on King's Road, near the station. 

The notice forbids the performance of a number of guitar standards, most notably Led Zeppelin's seminal 'Stairway to Heaven'.

While I'd peg 'Wayne's World' as a little overrated, I couldn't help but be impressed by such a brilliantly cheeky bit of legislation. And, faced with the threat of being put to death by the shadowy forces of Hart District Council and Hampshire Constabulary, I duly obeyed the dictat when trying out a second-hand electro-acoustic guitar. 

Due to the owner's obstinate refusal to knock a tenner of the battered axe, I left the shop empty handed, but the good service and wide range of musical equipment on offer certainly couldn't be faulted. To the best of my knowledge Kingfisher is Fleet's only music emporium, and for maestros in the local area is a pretty significant feature of the town.

    Perhaps the Lismoyne would benefit from a similar sign? Do you ever get aspiring/retiring rock gods throwing TVs out of windows etc?
