He reflects on the Conference (all that he saw of it) and provides some behind-the-scenes insight. We discuss the things that the Irish contributed that are likely to continue in future Conferences. We also speak about the differences between a "legacy" and a "city event" Conference bid. http://www.wasbe.org/conferences/2007/podcast/index.shtml#e08 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 20:30:00 -0600 Trans-Atlantic flights can be boring, but not when you fly with members of the 2007 International Youth Wind Orchestra.

We spoke with Fergus O’Carroll, Local Organising Committee Chair for the 13th WASBE Conference, in Killarney, Ireland. The first part of this interview speaks about how the bid was put together, the “threads” or “strands” that wove themselves into the fabric of the Conference, and a bit more about the concerts and the pre-concert talks that precede them. For those of you new to WASBE, we have a short primer as well. http://www.wasbe.org/conferences/2007/podcast/index.shtml#e01 Fri, 29 Jun 2007 21:49:00 -0600
