I had searched for caches with a high favourite-count before setting out, given I only had 36 hours in London on this visit. When I got to GZ I was puzzled at first, and then saw another couple also obviously searching, so we combined forces and shortly thereafter found the cache. Love it! Thanks for a creative cache.
Had a few hours to spare in central London before heading over to Heathrow to catch my
flight home, so grabbed the GPS and wandered into the unknown.
Had no real plan, just thought I'd se where the GPS took me.
Loved this cache, so simple but a very original idea...!!!
Have yet another FAV point

Well with so many cachers joining the band, surely the travel costs for the gigs is going to be large. Found while examining the adds for drummers, singers and guitarists, alas I couldn't a wanted add for a triangle player so I signed up for this band. Thanks goldpot for the cache, a favourite point added.
I have been waiting for a long time to do this cache. It is the Trad with the most favourite points in London! I begged dad to go here but he refused to go because he didn't think that this area was suitable for me, a 13 year old. Eventually he gave in, but we did have to go around the back way. I had an idea of what this would be, but I wasn't sure. It turned out that I was right 
Great 'hide'. I can play the Piano-Clari: a mixture of the piano and clarinet 
Thanks for a great cache goldpot!

Also great was that I met Wulfen OakShadow... recently Ex-Muggles on their first day of caching! I ensured them not all caches were quite like this one hehe.
Fortunately they were a musically talented family as all I brought to the table was the Pathtag Chain Rattle and the Munzee Flip Book (a rare instrument that makes a lovely zipping sound as you flick through the laminated game pieces
hehehe)
Only this one today as I was off to the British Museum to be all cultural... then remembered it was Saturday and packed! Doh!
Cheers from Australia... soon to be be in Germany... so while Im at it, sorry Gold Pot but I wont make the Super Secret Regents Park event now :'(

It appears that this cache has gone missing.
Sadly, I'm away from London for over a week.
Shall replace ASAP.

We found a nice guitarshop and looked around. Afterwards we went into the alley and searched a long time. We think we know where it should be, but we couldn't find it. The shop owner came to close the gate, and we had to leave

Argh... What am I missing?
This it the 4th time I have visited this alley.
The notice board is well and truly there - but no sign of a log?

Indeed the old cache had gone...removed by the painters!!!
New cache in service and is extremely easy to spot at the moment at its new location.
Happy caching and more members are still required!!!

looks like the application sheet could do with replacing, unusual and enjoyable. Found after some thought, nice one thanks.
Great idea and place for a cache!
Signed up as a bass player as I have played bass for more than 30 years (since the old punk rock days) - and still do.

Looked around for a while and then the penny dropped and we soon found the cache. Signed up as a keyboard player, but I need a bit more practice before doing a gig!
This is very deserving of a "favorite" point and very happy to add another.
Thanks for a very entertaining cache.

Today was my Brother in Law's birthday, and he had never been to London or on a plane and is a Royalist. So what better birthday treat can you get than taking him on a plane to London to see the Royal Wedding.
We walked here from St. Pancras and it was about 4;45am when we got here. The gates were locked and the area is probably not the best area at that time of the morning so we moved on quickly.

New logsheet posted.
Many thanks to all those that have nominated this cache as their 'favorite' cache.
I'm astonish that it has reached 100 points this week and even more so that it is now Britian's second most favorite cache!!!

Work had brought me to London, so I made the most of the opportunity to do some caching...
An excellent, excellent idea for a cache and brilliantly executed!
Signed up and moved along - I'm now waiting for my call-up and fame, money, drugs and women.

What a great cache - so original and worthy of all the favourite points. The area is fascinating, clearly full of musical history. We signed up for Tubular Bells and the Triangle. The log may need refreshing very soon, we took the last place in the current lineup. TFTC
Dropped in to sign the new log while passing by. Dipped Groovin' GeoGuitar GC. TFTC, again.
Brilliant Cache Mr Goldpot - bets (Best obviously!) of the day I think - Thanks very much - great location as well.

Wandered up and down the alley a couple of times struggling for GPSr reception, and then used cachers' eye/intuition to find the cache. If push came to shove, we might be able to play the spoons . . . TFTC.
Up in London for our works Xmas do, the coach dropped us off early, giving us an hour or so to go off and 'explore'. Well I've explored this part of London many a time, so snuck off, armed only with my iphone to grab a couple of caches.
I loved this cache! Unlike others I didn't know what to expect as initially (given I was using the iphone and it's dreaded lack of accuracy) I thought I was looking at the church. Took a while to find the passageway I needed to be, and then I thought "No, it couldn't be, could it?" and laughed to myself merrily when I found that indeed it was. Brilliant idea for a cache. Simple, but I think this will have to go down as one of my all-time favourites!
