MB1 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 MB1. ADEY.....Long time Manchester Luthier to the stars, and annoying gits like myself is on the move. Adey is now moving from Sound Control on Oxford Road Manchester,where he has served the public for many years from the days of A1 music / The academy of sound/ Sound Control. ADEY......will now be moving to...MUSIC GROUND.. OXFORD RD..MANCHESTER.(across from the BBC) and will be joining Napper/Darryll and the lads. I for one wish him well. Many Thanks! Martin.

Viajero Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Just been in Music Ground, chatting to them. Turns out Adey was offered a job at MG, then went to his employers at SC, told them what he'd been offered and asked what they'd offer him by way of competition. They turned round and told him to sling his hook. Not the way to run a business, summarily sacking people who've been around doing good work for 17 years...

ednaplate Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'm sure remember Adey from the mid 80s when you used to go into A1 from the corner entrance on Oxford Rd. You'd have to step over the amps to get to the stairs. They used to have loads of old Squier Strats in a glass case that could only be used with permission. I've seen all the changes A1/SC has gone through over 20-25 years. Some of the staff are just plain obnoxious which is why Sounds Great in Heald Green now gets my business.

ednaplate Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I think we've all established that. I was just reminiscing as he did quite a bit of work for me too in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
