Vox at the British Musical Instrument Industries Trade Fair, 1964
Also known as the "Association of Musical Instrument Industries" Trade Fair. The event was was held annually at the Hotel Russell, Russell Square, London, normally in the penultimate week of August.
The item selected for special mention by the press in 1964 - probably at the recommendation of Jennings - was the Vox "all-in-one" six-channel PA unit. The piece from "Record Mirror" (below) notes further things of interest.
Further pages on subsequent years, 1965 - 1967, will be created in due course.

But at right, there is the six-channel PA amplifier, and in the foreground at left the Domino range, mentioned in the "Record Mirror" piece below. In the background an AC50 and T60 cab, and a LS40 column. To the left of his head, on a shelf, a large box AC50. On the table, a paging amplifier (on top of the six-channel unit) and various microphones.
