Many loudspeaker cab manufacurers use the least expensive speakers that they can get away with whilst charging phenominaly high prices for the finished product. Some few short years ago two of the most popular cabs from a leading UK manufacturer retailed at £499 each, these being a 4x10 and a 1x15, the 10" & 15" speakers left the actual speaker manufacturer for approx £9.50 (10") & £32 (15") each which equated £461 £467 for the empty cabinets which were basic tuned cabinets, nothing complex.

Seen Abba Tribute act Bjorn Again twice, one of them last year at an amazing outdoor concert at Chatsworth House, I've been gigging for 50 years so I'm not very easily impressed but with these guys you had Abba on stage even down to Swedish accents.

Sad to say that our dear friend Geoff Allan (known to us as Geoff Leppard) father of Def Leppards Rick Allan passed away yesterday after a long illness. Geoff lived in Dronfield North Derbyshire and was a regular visitor at ours and other local bands gigs until his illness took its toll. I know that there will be a massive turnout at his funeral due to the high esteem for him by everyone who knew him. R.I.P Geoff
