A piece of music history in Prince George

Apr 22, 2025 | 1:03 PM

Check this out- a piece of music history has made its way from Los Angeles to Prince George! Corey Hawkins, owner of The Hawkins Sound Ranch, has recently acquired a Trident 80B recording console that once belonged to Frank Zappa. How cool is that?! The large mixer is now the centrepiece of Hawkins’ studio, and while the console, nicknamed ‘Zappy’ is in great shape, Hawkins is calling on the community for some help to restore the 80B to its full glory.

You can support the restoration of Zappy here.
