Jon Lord and Rick Wakeman at the KEYBOARDTECH 'HAMMOND LAB'
After months of preparation, the infamous Jon Lord and Rick Wakeman hosted an informative, fun and lively Q&A event at Tech Music Schools (TMS) last Wednesday 28th April. The evening went down a storm as the room packed full of students, fans and even a few TMS tutors, listened intently to the stories of the Deep Purple and Yes years

Jon Lord plays New B-3p and 3300 Leslie during his recent Russian Tour
Not only is our friend Jon Lord doing us the honor of officially opening the KeyTech Hammond Lab, he graced the keys of the New B-3 with his magical hands during his recent tour of Russia.
You can see some video footage during his performance on the New B-3 here on Jon's web site
Logistically this was quite an effort and special thanks must go to Mr Yu Beniya of Hammond Organ HQ in Japan and Mr Valeriy Gulevich the Hammond Organ agent for Russia for liaising with us to make this happen.
Jon was suitably impressed with the new B-3 and Leslie 3300 and I am meeting up with him shortly after the Music Tech School Ceremony hopefully before Christmas to go through the full benefits of the New Generation Hammond Organs and how they could fit in with his future projects and live performances.
