KiOgon Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 There was another factory in Hastings which never gets mentioned but I worked there back in the days, we couldn't churn out AC30s fast enough! Sometimes made visits to Dartford or Erith transporting kit between units. Will be watching that & thanks for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He became quite a hero. His workshop seemed to be open all night for popping in to borrow/hire an Amp or cab. Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have access to iplayer via BTVision and i have notic ed that usually about 10 or 20 minutes have to go by before a programme becomes avaiable. Maybe it was just a goof. Worth watching.

benebass Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Fascinating documentary - thanks for posting. I couldn't find it on cable either, but it's definitely worth sitting in front of a laptop for half an hour to watch... Have they done anything similar on Jim Marshall? If Dartford was the centre of rock & roll in the early '60s then by the end of the decade Milton Keynes can't have been far behind! Cheers, B.
