Episode Details

The stunning home of the Black Deer Festival of Americana was the location for this edition of the AAA Backstage podcast, where we meet the event’s co-founder Gill Tee.

The series explores what lies behind festivals and their instigators. This conversation was recorded while sitting on the lawn outside Eridge Park, the home of the Marquess of Abergavenny, with magnificent views across the 3,500-acre deer park. We laughed, we cried... we discussed Gill's fascinating career path that led her to co-founding Black Deer with Deborah Shilling in 2018, the impact of losing her brother at such a young age, showering Neil Young, and how she has successfully carved out a career in an industry shockingly short of female festival bosses.
