“It’s amazing!”
“So cool !!!”
“This is fun – have a go!”
“We had such a great day. We learned a lot and had lots of fun, so that’s all you can ask for”

“Fantastic time making music today with found sounds”
“Fantastic day, thanks to all involved.”
“The panel was superb –
you could tell from the audience reactions just how engaged people were by the
contributions from Brian, Dick and Mark.”
“Andrea Pazos’ graphics were absolutely mesmerizing…the bit with hands and tape. Wow!”
“Interesting to find out and see how artists interpret the heritage of Delia.”
“The reception we got was marvellous and I think Delia would have been bemused and delighted at the same time. Keep up the great work!” Dick Mills, friend and colleague of Delia Derbyshire
“Fascinating, very well put together. Really interesting to meet the people who worked with Delia and hear how she worked with them.”

“Fascinating talks and inspiring audio+visual art at #HLFsupported @DeliaDDay. Never fail to be amazed at how much of a pioneer Delia was!”
“Events like these are important to recognise women in electronic music past and present.”
“An inspiring night. You are all talented people and it was great to learn more about Delia.”
“I love how you have all interpreted Delia’s work and life through new art. It is rare to see art mixed with heritage education like this.”
“I made some awesome ideas and a dope track.”
“I enjoyed analysing the Dr Who theme and creating my own music.”
“I think the [education] project went very well and all the children really enjoyed it. It was very hands on and they particularly liked making music using random objects.” Teaching Assistant, St Augustine’s School
“Delia is inspiring because she didn’t give up” A pupil shocked that Delia was rejected a job at Decca Records in 1959 because she was a woman
“Lots of inspiring ideas at @DeliaDDay event tonight with @dwarchivenorth”
“I think the variety worked really well – the projects and perspectives were varied as was the audience. Also, no techno fails! Always a bonus.”

“I’m blown away by everyone’s motivation to look back and look forward”
