A Leading local music store and recording studio have announced that Marshall Amplification plc have appointed Wolverton's Rock Hard Music as their new flagship retail store for all Marshall products and services in the area.

 

The worlds best selling amplification brand based in Bletchley has not had a main dealership in the city for a number of years so this represents a great opportunity for local musicians and fans of Marshall to try out all the latest products, as well as the classic models, that have made Marshall one of the world’s most iconic manufacturers of electric guitar and bass amplifiers.

 

“Rock Hard Music were the obvious choice for us” said John “It is a fantastic store with experienced staff and is run by musicians for musicians.

 

"The Studio and rehearsal facilities also enable customers to try out our products at proper stage volumes. We are looking forward to a very rewarding working partnership.”

 

Co-owner of Rock Hard Music Ronnie Orme agrees: “It’s a huge honour to be working in partnership with Marshall Amplifiers and stocking their full range of products.

 

"We are not only huge fans of Marshall’s Amps but also admire and appreciate what Jim Marshall and his company have done for the British music industry, as well as the promotional and charitable work he has done for the local community.

 

"It has been our aspiration since opening the store, just over 2 years ago, to become the local dealer for Marshall and we are delighted be chosen as the flagship store. And, as always, we will endeavour to support local musicians and businesses as much as possible.”

 

The ‘Grand Opening’ of the new Marshall dealership at Rock Hard Music in Canons Road, Old Wolverton is on Saturday at 11am.

 

Industry legend Dr Jim Marshall OBE will be there to meet customers and thier will also be an opportunity to meet renowned international guitarist and official Marshall Demonstrator Chris George, who will be demonstrating some of the latest equipment in the studio from 12 noon.

 

There will also be some fantastic ‘one off’ special offers on selected Marshall products throughout the weekend and they recomend that you get there early to avoid disappointment.
