    The second link shows my very good friend and fellow-member of the Premises Committee at the time, Harry Walters, at Speakers Corner in London.

    Did Harry have the loudest voice the Party has ever produced?

    Harry's voice was quite loud but not exceptionally so if my memory serves – his enunciation and delivery was particularly good so nobody could ever say that they couldn't understand what he was saying.  He was a good indoor speaker as well – his specialist subject being Anthropology.

    I seem to remember the late Joe Bell having a particularly loud voice. (No sarcasm intended.)

    I seem to recall attending HO for ADM in the early 80s as a very callow youth, it was probably the first time I spoke at a party conference/meeting, and Harry very kindly took me to one sde at teh end of the day and explained how to project my voice by directing his to various parts of the room and altering the volume. I think he made the windows shake at one point.
