Episode 15: Parties in the Park

In this summer special, Learning Manager and music fan Richard
Pering takes a look at the amazing concerts which have taken
place in Hyde Park over the years. From Pink Floyd and The
Rolling Stones in the 1960's, all the way up to the last British
Summer Time in 2019, before the 2020 and 2021 gigs were cancelled
due to the pandemic.

Joining him on his musical quest is someone who knows more than a
little about how to host the world's biggest bands, Jess
Chambers, Events Communications Manager for The Royal
Parks. 

Jess takes us behind the scenes look at these events, the history
of how they came to be held here, and what it takes to make them
happen, as well as why she can sometimes be found back stage,
other times walking through the streets around the park to see
what she can hear...
