It’s been four decades since Heavy Metal was unleashed onto the unsuspecting world and became a truly global musical phenomenon. We at Laney are proud to have played a unique role in unleashing Heavy Metal to the world.
To celebrate the birth of Heavy Metal and Laney’s heritage, Laney http://www.laney.co.uk are proud to sponsor Home of Metal http://www.homeofmetal.com a summer season of awe-inspiring exhibitions, and events celebrating the Black Country and Birmingham as the birthplace of Heavy Metal.
