Audio Network takes on Cannes

By: Carrie Russell
Date:: 25 Oct 2011

The Audio Network team take on Cannes . After battling what felt like everyone else in the UK heading down south en route to the airport on one of the hottest days of the year; running through check in and being waved through a special fast track security, the Audio Network team made it to the departure lounge by the skin of our teeth.
