Something a little bit different this week...I don't feature as many industry / behind the scenes guests as I'd like to on Life In The Stocks, but I always enjoy talking to them when I do, especially when they happen to be a close personal friend of mine, like this week's guest, Ben Ray from Slam Dunk. Slam Dunk is, for my money, the best alternative festival in the UK. It caters to everyone. And Ben's grown in from a ska punk club night in Leeds to one of the most successful festivals in the country. We talk all about that journey on this podcast, and lots of other fun stuff along the way.
