Well as has become tradition for me – since starting the Exhibitors Prologue way back in 2010 – I arrived at the National Audio Show 2012, held at Whittelbury Hall one day early in order to chronicle the arrival, unloading and setting up of an exhibitioners room.

It was exactly two weeks ago that I last wandered around and bought vinyl and CDs from Belfast’s ‘best independent’ (1) record outlet ‘Head Record’s’ and other than a ‘New Year’s’ sale being […]
