Report on CANadaJAM London 2019 at the Hope and Anchor in Islington – yes you missed it.
The second CANadaJAM tool place on 26th June 2019 in Calgary, AB, Canada [HERE].
It was attended by Head-Fier HungryPanda (right) and Jürgen. As a result, the Panda [“give the man some bamboo”] will have to be renamed to “ThirstyPanda”. ThirstyPanda pulled out numerous daps of his (about 600 — estimated). And he gave Jürgen three NicePANDA earbuds — self-made. Thankyouverymuch!

The Hope and Anchor, birthplace of Pub Rock.
We had the place to ourselves.

The Panda is organized.
The Specials are one of the bands who played their first few significant gigs at the Hope and Anchor.
Head-Fier since 2016. He has been known as “Otto Motor” to Head-Fiers, as “Dr. Schweinsgruber” to audiobudget.com users and Youtubers, and as “Brause” to Super Best Audio Friends and the Headphone Community. - For the purpose of confusion, he decided to pose under his real name Jürgen Kraus (“JK”) from now on. - This is a hobby. In “real” life, Jürgen is a professional geologist operating his own petroleum-exploration consulting company Franconia Geoscience Ltd. based in Calgary, Canada. He holds German and Canadian passports. Jürgen had a classical music education from childhood through high school in Germany and he has been following popular music developments since the late 1970s. His understanding of arts and crafts was influenced by Bauhaus pragmatism: “less is more” and “form follows function”.

Interesting to see you using the Hope and Anchor. There is actually an amazing music venue almost a hundred yards away from that pub. The UNION CHAPEL is an old church and because I live a couple of minutes away I have seen some wonderful music acts there. It has a very small capacity but amazing musicians perform there because it is such a meaningful venue and gives a lot of kudos, and it also has interesting accoustics. So good to see my backyard as an epicenter of the IEM/Bud world. Also I send lots of musical blessings to the guy who tuned the BLON 03. The guy deserves a medal.
Thanks, The Hope and Anchor was on my bucket list. I later took the Overground to Wapping and hung out at the Town of Ramsgate, celebrating Cptn. Bligh. Apparently, Steve Severin from Siouxsie and the Banshees can be found there sometimes, too. As far as I know, there will be a Blon MK II with longer nozzles and improved tuning, Apparently, I will be involved in this.
Right now, Kopi and I are working on another Blon model that was sent to me by the tuning team around the Bon tuner.

Not logical but needs some searching to see how relevant this place was/is. A hundred meters from the Hope and Anchor but a more important history.
