I worked in the office of Philip Cann on Chapel Walk around 1973. Many of the acts who played at 'The Fiesta' at the time would come in for sheet music and instruments, it was the place with the listening booths down in the basement.

Cannes on Dixon lane were the first to have sterio listening booths, and then Boots on Fargate had them downstairs.

 

Both in the mid 50s
