Lights, camera...beer...
To borrow the vernacular of the London cabbie, The Hat had that Paddy Maguire and that Jason Elliott on his sofa the other week. It was a rare opportunity to get them both together and find out more about the driving forces behind the Hebden Bridge Blues Festival, what makes them tick, their history, their aspirations for the festival and their plans for next year.
In his director's chair, The Hat tempted them with a beer and prodded them to talk. It wasn't difficult. In this delightful and candid chat, the Hat didn't find out their favourite colours or their lucky numbers (oops, sorry!) but a lot more interesting stuff did emerge. It'll take half an hour of your time, so pull up a chair and a small glass and enjoy the craic....
Pip Pip!
The Man in the Hat.
P.S Don't forget you can see the day reviews of this year's festival right here on this blog.
