A piano that really rocks.

Just had a visit from Sarah Davenport, who you may have met if you have ever considerd having one of their fantastic Davenport kitchens installed ( http://www.davcab.co.uk/ ).

I had not seen her for quite some time (I think it must have been when Sat Bains was doing a cooking demonstration at their showrooms - just brilliant food, treat yourself and go to his restaurant) and there was a bit of catching up to do.

Seems that Sarah and her mum have been heavily involved with a great new initiative to promote design and design collaboration, centred on Nottingham. If you are interested in design check out http://www.inspirationunleashed.co.uk/ to see what its all about.

Also worth a look is Sarah's chichi the rocking piano - a piano that really rocks - have a look and see what I mean!

In a world where mediocrity driven by dumbed down consumerism is the norm it is great to see people doing things for the joy and beauty of doing them well.

Keep on rocking!

Clean Queen is best.

I am still shocked.

Tim has just been cleaning a few records for a customer in the demonstration room next to our design office. Trying a before and after test to see the difference, it was astonishing!

Anyway, one of the albums was Queen, A Kind of Magic and the title track was playing when our designer Angela says "I can't stand Queen". A few shocked moments later I spluttered "how can you not like Queen? Consistently brilliant writing and performance, classic status across the pond assured due to the Waynes World Bohemian Rhapsody and the poignant Those Were the Days of Our Lives from a dying Mercury……….genius” No reason was forthcoming.

Now she may be the only female CEDIA certified designer in Europe but that's not the point, admitting to not liking Queen is not acceptable; everyone likes Queen, there is nothing not to like.

All you Queen Fans out there will be pleased to know she has been suitably punished by being forced to watch Al Murray re-runs with him singing Queen numbers very badly. She will learn!

Anyway, if you have a collection of vinyl records that you want to get the best out of then you will be pleased to know that we are renting out our record cleaning machine for weekends / weekdays at very reasonable cost. All musical tastes welcome, you just need to love music.
