10 Minute Country - Episode 42 - The Black Deer Festival Interview Special

In today's episode, James speaks to Gill Tee and Deborah Shilling, the organisers of the Black Deer Festival. Held in Kent, the festival opens its doors to the public for its second year soon, on the weekend of the 21st of June.
After the accolades and awards that the festival won in its inaugural year in 2018, James was fascinated to know how Gill and Deborah felt in the aftermath. He also talks to them about what it took to get the festival off the ground last year, what the stress points were and continue to be and how they go about choosing the bill and line up for each festival.

Gill and Deborah talk with honesty, openness and humour about the festival and what their plans are for the future. They also reveal who their all-time 'fantasy' choices would be if they could pick any musician or band to appear in the future at Black Deer.

If you've ever wanted to know what it takes to take a festival idea from conception to reality and beyond, this episode is for you!
