The same system was used the following day for a
rally that was part of Europride, a major gay and
lesbian festival which takes place in a different
European city each year.
Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland
was the setting for around 15,000 Harley Davidson
owners from across the globe to parade their machines.
Naturally, music was a key part of the festivities,
with Roy Wood, Suzie Quatro, the Commitments, 3M and
the Counterfeit Stones all enjoying the benefits of
the Aspect system provided by Britannia Row.
 Adding yet further proof of the
versatility of Aspect, in July Clifton College in
Bristol hosted a Promenade concert which featured
the talents of opera diva Lesley Garrett, the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra and the Clifton Choir. Supplied
by regular Aspect user WE Audio, the TA-890 system
provided pinpoint control of the sound, ensuring that
the surrounding residential area wasn’t disturbed
by the high quality audio that the audience was enjoying.
