The previous night, it was recitals by pupils from Chethams School of Music, and on one of the nights Dave had a raffle, the proceeds going to Chets. Craig put the winning bid in for the 'Spark to Icon' book. Here he is collecting his book from Dave.

King Street was also the host for two consecutive nights of entertainment last year, that I attended with my friend, BeoWorld member, Craig. The second night was with world famous folk guitarist, Martin Simpson. I did start a thread about that, but never completed it (Shame on me!) Here is Martin kindly signing his CD for me.

On hearing last year, that Dave Moulton (who, with his colleague Manny LaCarrubba, is responsible for the Acoustic Lens on BeoLab5s etc) was due to visit England from his home in Massachusetts, I tipped Dave (King Street) off, and we had a great evening in Manchester with Lee also visiting to do a Prize Draw, live! This is one of my favourite photographs

....and here is my friend Dave Jennings standing outside.

King Street is also where I purchased my Beo5 and collected Peter's. I think we were one of the first Beo5 owners in the UK! Here is the King Street store.

Almost immediately I got a personal message from Dave at King Street, saying that he may have an Avant that I could have for nothing! I have had a good relationship with all the staff at the King Street B&O store in Manchester, for some time. It was Dave that offered the use of the store for the North West of England BeoWorld meet.

Subtitle ...and why BeoWorld is the best site, ever! Please bear with me if this thread is all over the place, and riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. As I type this, I am three quarters through my third day as a non smoker! Some photo's you may have seen before as they may have been posted while we were 2,000-3,000 strong. Some photo's

PS. What's happened to your ' f ' Craig?

Ditto! My first post was to ask how to tune a Beomaster 7000 with a Beo4. Apart from being offered a Beolink 1000 for nowt, from Peter, I have since been happy to be able to help others with the same problem. Long may BeoWorld continue (just the way it is) Andy T.

Hey Andy! You can't just leave us in the lurch like this! We need the video, NOW!!!! Andy T.
