Hello to everyone that has been following the progress of the In Deep Music Archive since ‘Phase One’ and extraction from Penzance (haha, sounds military). That was quite an operation after more than 15 years there but as the landlord had bequeathed the building to another organisation it was time for us to leave. In the wake of this imminent move, Olivia and I relocated to Portugal where we have planned to establish The Archive in more suitable surroundings. Porto is Portugal's second city and is a vibrant place always packed full of tourists whatever the season and seems a more appropriate place to have this cultural collection rather than tucked away in the far corner of south-west England, despite its magical beauty. Porto has a magical beauty of its own and we are happy to report that we can now begin ‘Phase Two’ as we have secured premises right in the centre of the city. This new location is situated at Rua de Coelho Neto 17 between Rua de Fernandes Tomás and the Largo de Padrão square. It has big windows at the front and approximately 200 square metres of space (about 2100 square feet). It’s three times larger than In Deep Penzance and consequently needs work to make it ready. It used to be a lab and has some strange features that need sorting out, some additions, some subtractions. It has partitioned rooms with sinks that need to be removed and a lot of pipes funnelling water to all corners. Despite all this, it has no hot water boiler and the sinks in the bathroom and kitchen have no taps. The walls are all beige and need rendering in places and most desperately need some colour. We need to add more safe power outlets and we have had a consultation from (as it happens) a builder from Australia (Brad) who has a Portuguese wife, Filipe, a plumber and Marco, an electrician. We need to get the kitchen plumbed in, electrified and operational, the bathroom sorted, electrics safe, some attention to floors and security. We have already installed new security gates at the front, fixed the security gates at the back and have some motion-sensitive cameras in there that we can view remotely from here in Dallas. Saturday, 28th September, 2024 we will be performing live on our YouTube Channel as part of an In Deep Music Archive fundraiser. As we enter into the autumn, we will mostly be here in Porto working in The Archive, and over the coming months, we will be endeavouring to make it into a place for preserving recorded musical history. The music, the cover art, the fashions, how the records typified the era they were released in, the productions, the post-digital world and the pre-synthesiser recording, and all genres from smokey jazz to the virtuosos and composers in classical music, and of course rock, pop, soul and all the branches that have sprouted over the eras from the blues to contemporary music, are considered here at In Deep. People will be able to visit, drink tea, check out the library, and we would hope to have small performances, album launches and album-listening nights as we get everything sorted and filed away. We are using this quiet period in regard to touring and our upcoming project releases to concentrate on The Archive’s future, but it’s one thing having it and another thing keeping it, so we will appreciate donations for the performance so that The Archive can continue on its quest.

GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN to support the creation of the IN DEEP MUSIC ARCHIVE Porto After the In Deep Music Archive has been living in a cellar in Penzance, Cornwall, for about 15 years, we just finished moving everything into storage to be reunited with more records, more amps, more gear, more books, more artefacts, more Russian projectors, ... boxing everything up, labelling everything, setting up an inventory. Next goal - getting it all shipped to Porto, Portugal, in order to FINALLY open the In Deep Music Archive Porto, a museum, venue, record shop, café, recording studio, and much much much more! Here’s some cool video footage of the storage with me and Fred and Gerri Ann from Minneapolis who were over helping us organise the big archive move. We didn’t manage to get any footage with Aram, Hud and anybody else helping pack in Penzance because we were simply so wrapped up in it all. Thank you to everybody who has contributed in any way to making this happen and let’s hope it does - happen that is. martywillson-piper Marty’s Top 147 Rock & Pop Guitarists Jan Akkerman Duane Allman Ron Asheton Ferdinand Bakker Martin Barre Syd Barrett Jeff Skunk Baxter Jeff Beck Chris Bell Eric Bell Dickie Betts Ritchie Blackmore Mike Bloomfield Marc Bolan James Burton Bernard Butler Michael Bruce Wally Bryson Roy Buchanan Lindsey Buckingham Glen Buxton Mike Campbell Manny Charlton Alex Chilton John Cippolina Eric Clapton Zal Cleminson Nels Cline Ry Cooder Steve Cropper Dave Davies Buck Dharma (Donald Roeser) Al DiMeola Nick Drake The Edge Elliot Easton Peter Frampton Dave Edmonds Robert Fripp Fred Frith Rory Gallagher Lowell George David Gilmour Alice Go Scott Gorham Guthrie Govan Peter Green Johnny Greenwood Robin Guthrie Manuel Göttsching Steve Hacket Ollie Halsall George Harrison Warren Haynes Eddie Hazel Jimi Hendrix Steve Hillage Allan Holdsworth James Honeyman-Scott Steve Howe Steve Hunter Tony Iommi Bert Jansch Wilko Johnson Justin Jones Steve Jones Terry Kath Michael Karoli Danny Kirwan Robby Krieger Mark Knopfler Paul Kossoff Wayne Kramer Andy Latimer Alvin Lee Alex Lifeson Richard Lloyd Nils Lofgren Harvey Mandel Johnny Marr Steve Marriott Hank Marvin Dave Mason Patrick Mata Brian May Nick McCabe John Mclaughlin Jimmy McCulloch John McGeoch Roger McGuinn Tony McPhee Gary Moore Scotty Moore Thurston Moore Bill Nelson Mike Oldfield Jimmy Page Les Paul Eddie Phillips Andy Powell Lee Ranaldo John Renborn David Rhodes Keith Richards Johnny Ramone Brian Robertson Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Mick Ronson Terje Rypdal Carlos Santana Will Sergeant Michael Schenker Tom Scholz Neal Schon Andy Scott Kevin Shields Slash Fred Sonic Smith Chris Spedding Stephen Stills Andy Summers Mick Taylor Richard Thompson Johnny Thunders Mary Timony Pete Townshend Robin Trower Derek Trucks Ted Turner Eddie Van Halen Stevie Ray Vaughn Tom Verlaine Dick Wagner Joe Walsh Jack White Leslie West Winged Eel Fingerling (Elliot Ingber) Clarence White James Williamson Johnny Winter Steve Winwood Ronnie Wood Link Wray Angus Young Malcolm Young Neil Young Zoot Horn Rollo (Bill Harkleroad) Frank Zappa
