Episode notes

Join music journalist and Deer Shed veteran, Dave Simpson, as he sits down with festival founders, Kate Webster and Oliver Jones, and winds the clock back to 2010 to the very first Deer Shed Festival. How did this married couple go from the London music scene to farmland in North Yorkshire, and establish one of the most unique festivals in the UK?

From time machines and unruly bands, to watching the musicians of the future have that light bulb moment. Ten festivals later, Kate and Oliver reveal how it all began, and the moments when it nearly didn’t.
