Vietnam tour for The Music Stop MD

Don't all laugh at once, but next march, our ageing MD will be spending the best part of two weeks trekking through the backwaters of Vietnam. Considering a brief stroll to our local cafe for the morning round of coffee's results in him having a sit down for three hours, we have opened a book on his chances of getting out of Hanoi Airport....current odds stand at 10-1 against........

In all seriousness, the trek is in aid of Farleigh Hospice in Chelmsford, and will involve some pretty basic living conditions along the way. Chris will be part of a mixed group of individuals, including his daughter Lianne, who persuaded him to leave the palatial surroundings of his north London home, and do something useful for a change.

The trek is nothing if not challenging, but is both exciting and scary at the same time, all in aid of a very worthy cause. If you would like to know more, or feel you could spare a couple of quid in sponsorship, then e-mail Chris at the shop.....Watch this space for updates, as we follow the old man while he attempts to get fit for the adventure, last heard saying 'Don't worry, I've got a year yet'........Famous last words.....

Clavia Nord Wave Synthesizer. You might get the impression you are looking at a regular analog style synthesizer. Nothing could be more right - nothing could be more wrong. Based on a legacy of inventing virtual analog synthesizers for almost 15 years, Clavia takes the next generation of lead synthesizers to the next level. The Nord Wave gives you traditional analog sounds that interact and coexist with pretty much anything you want; by combining analog, FM-synthesis, wavetable and sampled waveforms - you can use literally any standard wave file - it is a standard sample player and an analog synthesizer - and so much more in between!
