Summary

From the emerging clubbing scene, to Ibiza in the 90s, Rob has lived and breathed events for 30 years.

He escaped the dread of an office job he hated, to go from handing out flyers to throwing his own festival, Eastern Electrics.

I can relate to a lot of what Rob has to say; especially the buzz of throwing parties and the financial risks it takes to get a festival over the line.

If you’re interested in festivals and events, you’ll love this chat!
