Hello there! It's Woody from Chatting Tracks. Today, I'm basking in London's glorious sunshine and visiting the Prop Store, a company traditionally known for selling iconic movie props but now venturing into the world of music. They have curated a remarkable collection featuring Freddie Mercury's microphone, Matt Sorum's drums, and various legendary guitars.
