The two
day event will commence on the 7th of September, marking 35 years to the day of
the great Keith Moon's early passing... so the organisers are really wanting to
make this special weekend a memorable one.
The
event will be held in "Who Territory" at the Bush Hall, Shepherds
Bush, London, which is a fantastic venue that was used for the very successful
2006 Convention.
All
profits raised from the weekend event will be donated to Teenage Cancer Trust.
Like previous conventions, we will be holding an auction of Who memorabilia. So
far they have received some fantastic donations, which will create a lot of
interest and help raise money for TCT.
There
will be live music by artists that you will not want to miss, guest speakers
telling some of their sordid tales, Q&A sessions with some of the infamous
Who Family, rare memorabilia on show, screenings of vintage footage, and lots
more!
An exact
replica of the famous "James Michael Cooper's" Lambretta scooter
(also known as "Jimmy") that was featured in the Who’s cult movie
Quadrophenia will be at the convention! The scooter is from the Quadrophenia
Collection and has been used for band and magazine photo and video shoots all
over the UK. Jimmy's original scooter was hired to The Who Films Ltd in 1978
while filming the movie, and was sold at auction for a whopping £36,000, making
it the world’s most expensive scooter!
Thanks to
Graham Webb for bringing it to the convention!
