Body & Soul Special with Avril Stanley and Louise Bruton

In honour of festival season Roísín welcomes Body & Soul founder Avril Stanley to talk about her long and storied career in putting on memorable events, from 300 people in Yosemite National Park to the 10,000 attending the sixth year of Body & Soul at Ballinlough Castle next weekend.

She also welcomes journalist and blogger Louise Bruton, who campaigns for better wheelchair access in public spaces. She rates Body & Soul highly for accessibility and together with Avril has come up with some solutions to make festivals less hostile places for wheelchair users. Now all they need is some nice weather.
