Hey Punters, you know how much we love a festival, well today's guest, Tara Conlin shares her story of surviving the failed luxury 'Fyre Festival' that was founded by con-artist Billy McFarland and rapper Ja Rule. It was created with the intent of promoting the company's Fyre app for booking music talent. The festival was scheduled to take place in 2017, on the Bahamian island of Great Exuma and let's just say... things just didn't go to plan! It's a wild ride!
Also, don't forget from the 13th of December 2021, Happy Hour will be 'EXCLUSIVELY' on Spotify. Make sure you head over to Spotify and 'follow' Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki.
