Jim Marshall loved music. It was his passion for playing the drums that led to him opening the famed ‘J & T Marshall’ musical instrument store in West London in 1962. That led to Jim becoming friends with young guitarists who were part of London’s vibrant music scene: Jimi Hendrix, Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton and Ritchie Blackmore to name but a few, who together would go on to change rock and blues music forever. Since its inception, Marshall have been there for it all: from blues to hip hop, grunge to glam rock, and punk to pop.

Today, Marshall Group is the audio, tech and design powerhouse uniting musicians and music lovers through genre-breaking innovation.
