Ray Davies Selling UK's Konk Studios
Kinks' star Ray Davies his putting some historic real estate on the market. The UK's "Hornsey & Crouch End Journal" reports that Davies' Konk Studios is up for sale for just under two-million pounds -- or about three-point-one-million American dollars. In addition to The Kinks, the studio's hosted the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Elvis Costello, Culture Club and pop stars Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue. David Winskill, a Councillor in Crouch End -- where Konk is located -- isn't pleased with the impending sale. Winskill said, quote, "I think it's possible that if this had happened in any other country there would have been an enormous campaign to preserve this as some kind of national monument."
A realtor for the unique property said that there is interest in the studio from local developers, but that nothing specific has been agreed upon yet. |
