Founded in 1983, AVON is one of the most esteemed professional recording facilities in Hong Kong, having witnessed the birth of countless classic pop songs. In 2015, it was saved from demise by Mr Hins Cheung who took over the helm and funded its renovation, thus carrying the torch for this "Pop Music Hall of Fame" to safeguard its music archives of cultural value.
