“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

Ah thanks Rich I would love to come but, not sure what I will be doing on that date TBH, I have just quit my job in Australia and am looking for a new job so it depends what happens between now and then ????
You or Steve are welcome to borrow one of my R2R players and some tapes of course

I'm steve.
Im sure marco would not mind if you pm me on this forum too, i will add it to the list over on audio talk,
its not about forums, its just like minded people getting together and hearing some rather good kit- diy or otherwise
The saturday is the main day, opens around 9 am we drift in and set up, then kick off around 11.0 and then there is about another 12 hours worth, costs are around £10 each inc buffet lunch for the saturday no profit is made, its your share of the costs.
And then continued at a much more sedate pace for a few hours on the sunday ...

Not at all, mate. The more we can do to make the event a success, the better! I would encourage as many members of AoS to attend as possible, as Owston is one event where you always learn something new, and is also always organised impeccably by your good self.
Hope you have a good one
Marco.
