Now that it's over, any feedback from someone who attended the event, I wonder?

I was there - I suppose I would have to be.

 

Busier than March. Very good fun. I drank a bit more than I should. Roby Lakatos and Tamsyn Whaley-Cohen ripped it on Sunday evening. Quite a few exhibitors sold instruments / bows (I think that they have all re-confirmed for next year which is testimony in its way).

 

Ray Chan, Tamsin Little, Adrian Brendal turned up. The auction running alongside, although a bit scratchy sold c.82%. I slipped a disc lifting boxes and spent most of my time walking like Kaiser Soze. Nearly £20,000 of booze drunk over two days, not exclusively by me.

 

Overall, a good event. But then I didn't do any of the organising.

Is there a 'Ray Chan' as well or is it 'Ray Chen'? (Forgive my ignorance)

[jamesbuchanan]

Absolutely right - Ray Chen. Long day.

I heard him play quite recently in a recital.

He was the first performer I have seen who used a score on an i-pad resting on a music stand (& the piano) controlled with a foot pedal device for page turning.

Looked a bit precarious sitting on a stand. One false step could bring it crashing and you can always pick up sheet of printed manuscript.

Good performer though, must say.
