So after a tip off from a friend who found this place by chance I made the drive over to go see it.its just a small cottage which has been abandoned for some while now.there was lots of musical things in here.amps and a piano and two organs.the reason she called it echo because apparently one of the bits of equipment was used yo get an echo on your music..whilst inside a really heavy storm came on and I had to sit an hour inside waiting as it was so wet and I wanted to see the four old rovers in the garden.i am surprised this aint been trashed as its so near a massive built up area.

Superb! The old Rovers are excellent, bring back fond memories from my childhood every time I see one of those old beasts.
 
Lovely photos especially the Rovers cars. The Rover with the registration CJO329D according to records was blue on blue colour and was registered in 1966. Was there someone who was a musician in the house? Because of the Farfisa, Selmer, Hammond, WEM and the Carlsboro Amp these are good quality equipment and not your bog-standard will-do equipment. I couldn't make out the make of the turntable.
 
Thank you for the lovely comments I had a feeling the equipment was of a good brand and it was quite old

The Nightclub Clientele in the late 60's and the 70's were a very demanding audience and if you wanted repeat bookings at the better paying venues, then your Group's equipment needed to pass muster. The above equipment was not only well made; but there was stacks of it for sale in the local music outlets and it stood up well to the rigours of being bounced about in the back of whatever van you had managed to purloin for the weekend!
 
Another cracking set of images Mikey thanks for sharing them with us.
 
Brilliant mate. Some great stuff inside. The cars look awesome also :)

Strange how peoples attitudes change. In the '60's/'70's nobody wanted these big Rovers when they were getting a bit run down and the Chevy V8 engined versions only became sort after, so one could get the engine to put into a Land Rover. Re-engined both a short and a long wheelbase ex Mil 24 Volt FFR vehicle with Chevy engines in 1972. Got rid in 1984 after four trips to the Atlas Mountains and a six week trip along the fringes of the Sahara in the long wheelbase vehicle. On our first trip we were befriended by a Berber village Chieftain and I an still in communication with his family to this day.
