My enjoyment tonight was spoiled by the echoey, distant sound for both the speech and the music. The fact that it is a bigger area should not make any difference, as the engineers have always always been able to reduce the echo on previous occasions. It sounded if the orchestra's microphones were at the opposite end of the hall. Let's face it, if the BBC can eliminate echo from the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, they could certainly do it at the Tower Ballroom.
