bargains

Having organised the Audiojumble events for 23 years the remarkable John Howes has stepped back and passed the ‘reins’ over to the next generation. The February 2016 jumble was the first to be entirely run by Richard, Michael and Catherine Howes. It proved a popular event teaming with hi-fi and record collectors on the look out for a bargain. The following are just a few of the treasures that were up for grabs.
