Never Have I Ever... Camped at a Music Festival

Never Have I Ever with Claire Byrne vor 1 Monat

Festival camping has never made sense to Claire Byrne. Sleepless
nights in tents, mud, queues for the toilets... Why would
anyone willingly swap the comforts of home for a damp
field?

So, at the height of festival season, Claire sets out to discover
what she's been missing. Her guide is Philip Meagher – solicitor
by day, music obsessive by nature, and the founder of Forest Fest
in Emo, Co. Laois. Philip took a remarkable gamble, investing his
own money to build a festival designed for people who still love
live music but don't necessarily want to rough it.

Can Philip persuade one lifelong sceptic that sleeping in a tent
is a small price to pay for the magic that happens when thousands
of strangers come together for one unforgettable weekend? Or will
festival camping stay firmly on Claire's "Never Have I Ever"
list?

next? Email: never@newstalk.com
