LIMS 2009:
LIMS 09: the very best of day four
The Pacemaker: a metronome in disguise
While the mother of all metronome videos was caught at NAMM 09 with the birth of ‘Metronomica’, Sonic Ventures brings its own take on beat-keeping to LIMS 09.
LIMS 09: day three’s top picks
What did we tell you! It’s the weekend, and the rockstars have arrived. While Roland’s Juno-Di synth and Peavey’s Revalver III update continue to fly the flag in the new gear corner, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan and The Commitments are leading day three’s highlights with style.
VIDEO: The Commitments live at Peavey’s LIMS party
You might remember 1991’s film adaptation of Roddy Doyle’s novel of the same name: The Commitments. In a nutshell, it’s about a soul band. That same group took to the stage at Peavey’s party on Thursday night… and MusicRadar snuck in a video camera.

VIDEO: Zildjian’s brand new Z3 series
Zildjian’s Z series of cast cymbals for rock players has been going for years, so MusicRadar was surprised to learn that Zildjian had managed to sneak a brand new update to the line into LIMS without anyone noticing.
Spot the star: Pink Floyd, Cradle Of Filth and Sandi Thom
One of the wonderful things about LIMS is the abundance of rockstar-royalty roaming the show floor. Among the various MusicRadar reporters, promo girls and demo teams, here are some of the famous faces we’ve spotted so far…
LIMS 09: essential day one highlights
Welcome to the London International Music Show 2009! It’s day one, and we’ve already transformed from what can only be described as ‘organised chaos’ into the shining example of an exhibitor stand you can see on the left…
Organised chaos: A sneak preview of LIMS 09
While MusicRadar triple checks the batteries (laptop, camera, portable trouser press, etc) are fully charged and ready to go – here’s a sneak peek of the half-built show floor. Let’s call it ‘organised chaos’…
