The show does get better each year. This was my second time at exhibiting and I realised after setting up on Saturday that the only kit I had left from two yrs ago was my transmission line bass units and my Isotek Mini Sub !!
The best part of the show is meeting up with familiar faces, some we see at bake offs, others we only see each year at Scalford. The Wammers are also great at helping with moving heavy kit.....and when you've brought over 6 00 lb in kit it's more than welcome.
Setup went well and we soon had some tunes warming up the valve amps. Saturday eve was a curry out in Melton with another Wammer and his wife ...followed by heavy metal in the local pub
Sunday came far too quick with the added hr and people were soon coming into the room at 9:45 !
Lots of people brought music new to me ....most will soon be added to my collection .....The real standout one was Derrin Nauendorf, a very talented ausie guitarist introduced to us by a newbie Wammer
Thanks to everyone who came to my room and for the kind comments about my system that has been put together on a modest budget and a lot of experimentation.
We ended the day with Bollemes Tocatta at many dB's as a tribute to John....that's how I remember him with me 2 yrs ago both of us signalling the low notes as they shook the room
What next .....well a few refinements planned and may be back next year as a listener
lastly thanks to James et al for great organisation once again
