LINN @ Peoples & Schmidt

Yes that's exactly what they are doing so for all you whom asked ''WHEN'' are we going to get all the back catalogues in 24 Bit ... the answer is NOW :) Happy Days! Original tapes are on route to LINN for mastering to Digital 24 Bit from UNIVERSAL ..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNc5o9TU0t0 Went to Scotland this week with some Swedish Linn customers to see the amazing Mexican duo ... Acoustic guitar extraordinaries Rodrigo Gabriela. Their latest material is with a full piece band from Cuba which they brought with them ... Impressive but better placed in a dance hall where people can dance rather than a huge Glasgow gig which was literally packed to the roof so you could hardly move. The Cuban band though super talented just diluted the two stars performance but the few solo performances we got were absurdly good and got the enthusiastic Glasgow crowd rocking. 10 out of 10 for the solo's ... R&G are like no other ... Breathing new life into covers in a truly original way! They are right up there at the top of the lists of best guitarists ever ... Amazing!

On 17th Feb 1971 George Harrison was number 1 on the UK chart list with 'My Sweet Lord' and on the same day I was born .. So I'm taking the day off tomorrow ... normal opening hours from Tuesday! Have a nice weekend Stängt Lördag 18. ''P.S. Personal thanks from me for all the Birthday wishes that came in today // Martin''

Tip from Yari Mal via Christoffer berg ...

Many moons a go, rock climbing was an obsession for me ... a time when I had time ... So when I seen a documentary on SVT yesterday about climbing it grabbed my attention ... but not just for the climbing scenes. There are some great music tracks ... here is a track from Josh Garrels but please take time to listen to the album ... really good! Click the picture to link to Spotify.

CLICK the picture above or HERE to link to ''Music Moments pages'' Some fantastic material ... nice one LINN, brilliant stuff ..

Big thanks to Christer for organising a fantastic evening (pictured above with his wife). His photo's from New York are now on display in the shop for approximately one month, each one is mounted with the story behind the picture. We played some music from NY artists on our LINN systems of course ... went down a treat! Big thanks to everyone that came, great turn out ... the place was totally jammed early in the evening and a steady flow thereafter. For those that couldn't make it or those that are now curious ... please drop by and check out the photo's and shop for yourself // Martin Click any of the photo's on this page to link to Christer's video

Welcome tomorrow (2012 - 02 -10) from 5 pm till 8 pm ... fantastic pictures and stories behind the pictures from New York! How Christer was knocked off his bicycle by a ''gentleman'' in his Rolls Royce. Having chased the vehicle he never got an apology but did manage to get a great shot including the dent on the Roller from the collision ... LINK to film on: VIMEO The usual great combo of folk beer & music ... why of course ... (some white wine for the non fb drinkers)
