In previous years, DiGiCo has chosen to support some amazing causes and some now sadly departed individuals, with the audio industry coming together as one for what is an always-memorable night. This year, DiGiCo chose to support UK events charity Behind the Scenes.
"We have been supporters of Behind the Scenes UK since its inception two years ago, through its various charity events like the golf days and the recent karting day at Sandown Park, as well as lobbying the industry for support," says DiGiCo's MD James Gordon. "This year, it was a natural choice for us to nominate BTS as our chosen charity since we all know people personally and professionally that have, at one time in the past, needed the industry's support. Now, we have a charity that is supported by our industry, for our industry and administered by our industry we all need to get behind it."
On the night, a raffle was run with some great prizes donated by all the participants and, with a star turn auction hosted by a rather orange David 'Dennison' Dickinson and a top prize of dinner with Delta's Mark Bonner going for £900, the final total raised was a fantastic £5,500.00.
"It was an amazing evening as always, hosted by the Ant & Dec of the audio world James Gordon and David 'Webby' Webster, and Delta Sound were runaway quiz winners. With the quiz done, the celebrations went on into the night, with everyone coming together to discuss the finer points of Jager Bombs. A huge thank you from all at Behind the Scenes UK to DiGiCo and all the audio companies who supported the charity on the night."
