Author Nick Brodie tells how the wild west was won over by the RACT as the second place in the state to have a branch after Hobart.

Renowned music producer, audio engineer and creative visionary Chris Townend has some amazing stories to tell. He sat down with Dan & Christie to share his love of music and how he managed to get a major piece of Beatles history into Tassie's Frying Pan, Mona’s recording studio, built to house and appropriately venerate the legendary REDD.17 mixing desk.

The desk lived at London’s Abbey Road Studios from 1958 to 1980, in Studios One and Two and later the Transfer Room. In that time it was used to master everything at Abbey Road, including records by The Beatles and Pink Floyd. It was even used to create the special tape effects for ‘Tomorrow Never Knows’ by The Beatles, which experts cite as one of the pioneering recordings of rock as a mature art form.
