Reflections from Bede, Bournmoor and King's Music
We love these scenes yeah yeah yeah.
Guitars are big news at the moment thanks to Paul McCartney and his Lost Bass Project. It's his bid to trace the original Höfner bass guitar which he used in the 1960s.
It got us thinking about the great Sunderland Echo guitar scenes we've seen over the years.
We found this lot in the archives. See if they strike a chord with you.
