Welcome to our new podcast, where three friends try and figure out what it takes to build a festival from the ground up with no contacts, no experience and no knowledge of how to do it. Join us on our journey as we learn how it’s done, and see if we think we can have a go ourselves. We’ll be talking to a wide range of guests, as well as just chatting about all the things that we love about independent music and festivals ourselves
