I haven't seen this posted here, forgive me if it's around, but I did a search and thought someone MIGHT be interested...
It's the 80th Anniversary of Abbey Road studios this year, a loooong time for a studio to be in business. That's a lot of history, and they've asked Kevin Ryan and I to come lecture on that great story. We're being allowed to give the talks IN Studio Two, the famous Beatles room (and many others), with a selection of old mixers, tape machines, instruments, mics etc from their collection as a small museum. You'll get time to wander the room and see things, take pics, etc. and I think even the canteen will be available for a bite and a drink before! Then we'll talk with a presentation on the long history. Most people don't really understand the size and scope of the studio, the rooms there, many changes over time, styles of music etc. There's a lot to cover, but we'll try.
The first 8 talks sold out almost immediately, and there's 4 more added (Friday March 9th and Friday March 23rd).
It's a RARE chance to get into the building as a member of the public (I can think of only 3 times in the last 40 years this kind of opportunity has happened). I was just there last week preparing things, and even though I've been in that place many times, it still gives me goosebumps to sense the history of it all. We've found a lot of great things, and you'll see and hear quite a bit that never made it into the Recording the Beatles book, as that covers only 8 short years.
Hope to see some of you there, come say hello if you do, we'll be there!

This is the opportunity of a lifetime. I hope that someone from the TOMB gets in on this!
