Adrian Pollard – Sales Consultant: After 32 years in the UK education system as a teacher of mathematics, Adrian decided to follow an interest he has had since his early teens. A lover of music and Hi-Fi since his father first introduced him to Jascha Heifetz and Oscar Peterson around the time of Out of the Blue by the Electric Light Orchestra, his musical tastes changed to the hard rock and the likes of Deep Purple Mk II and the ongoing worship of their guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. For several years, he was a lead/rhythm guitarist in a band called The Trilobites. A deep and ongoing love of jazz developed as the “jazz gene” kicked-in during middle age, resulting in a particular love of the golden-age of jazz during the 1950's and 1960's. A more eclectic and diverse range of musical tastes has continued to develop to this day. A coveter of Linn/Naim systems since the late 1970's and now the proud owner of a Naim Uniti Nova, the flexibility of listening and superb audio quality of such a system has always been important to his music listening and at the root of him being able to get to the “being there” quality of music.
