My very first custom Tomkins guitar 🌹 Not just an instrument but a work of art
I was lucky to have know Allan Tomkins for over 20 years. He & Barb were such supporters of mine right from the very start in the early days of going to Tamworth. I’d often stay with them when I’d be in Sydney for gigs or songwriting.
