Okay, finally got to dig out some pics.
Firstly, thanks to Peter, Danny, Rachel , Sophie and Carolin for their hard work in organising and running the show. While there are will always be lessons to be learned, I felt the running and organisation was slick and professional.
A couple of show highlights for us were:
- meeting some lovely people, and finally putting faces to names
- one visitor, in his late teens/early twenties asked for some Faithless. We played God is a DJ & Come One, after which he said not only did he hear things he normally only hears with headphones, he also heard things he didn't even hear with headphones, and that he not only heard the music but felt it too, something he missed with headphones, and he parted saying he needed to get into proper hi-fi.
- one couple came in and asked us to play a track off their newly purchased Neil Young album on vinyl. They sat listening with eyes closed and the sweetest smiles on their faces, totally lost in the music, and the woman later approached my fiancè downstairs, and thanked her again for letting them listen to their music on our hi-fi
- just before closing on Saturday, we sat with Chris (Bohemian) and listened to the whole of 1812, and got completely lost in the music. When the last note faded, I opened my eyes to discover they were somewhat teary
- the fact that aside from a slower start on Sunday, we had a full room pretty much constantly both days - with only a few short instances when we had less than three people in the room, and for the most part people that came in stayed for a minimum of about 15 minutes, with the most staying even longer.
- a visitor who said that seeing the Wam systems has changed his thinking on hi-fi, and he is going to go back and start from scratch, now the he knows what can be achieved with home systems
- the constant praise for the high standard of systems in the Wammer rooms
- the looks on peoples faces when we played the little Krieslers.....
- the visitors who came back - sometimes two or three times
- discovering some great new music
- the relaxed sense of community
Aplogies that my pics are of my own room only - they were all I had time to take.
