archbishop of york

Posted by Catherine Jones on June 10, 2008 10:02 AM | 

I went to see the Archbishop of York give his Roscoe Lecture last night.
I say see, because I couldn't actually hear what he was saying much of the time.
I felt very sorry for the sound system technician (the same lad who who did a sterling job for our Sheppard-Worlock statue launch) as he fought a losing battle with errant speakers, the unhelpful acoustics in St George's Hall and an increasingly frustrated Archbishop.
In fact, fuelled I suspect by that frustration, the churchman got really quite bossy telling the sound guy "less bass. turn down the sound. don't touch it."
For once, people who had only been able to get a seat at the back benefited because apparently the sound was perfect there.
Anyway, I was reviewing in the evening so when it became clear things were running terribly late, I had to sneak out and missed most of what the Archbishop wanted to say.
