It's here! The inaugural Dreamfest Podcast has landed and the first guest to put together their dream lineup is a 10year veteran of the Birmingham music scene with his work with Rhino & The Ranters and now his solo work. It is, of course, R John Webb.
Despite being a bit warm (recorded on a hot day in August 2019), Ryan effortlessly manoeuvered us around his festival site and showed us all the delights of his music extravaganza. And we find out his preferred mode of transport! So sit back, relax and remember, if you book them, they will come.
