FIRST PLAY LANEY SUPERGROUP LA-STUDIO HEAD
History tends to focus on London and Liverpool as the two main epicentres of British popular music in the late 1960s, but there were others, of course, and one of the most notable was the West Midlands. From this area came Black Sabbath, The Move (which evolved into Electric Light Orchestra) and glam-rock legends Slade, among others. Back then, Laney founder Lyndon Laney was playing in a group called Band Of Joy, a collective of Black Country musicians that included Robert Plant and John Bonham. Lyndon’s early interest in electronics and amplifiers led to him building his own – at first in his parent’s garden shed and then in a unit in Digbeth as the business took off.
Ever since, Laney Amplification has successfully charted its own course through popular music trends
