The conversation meanders through the festival's growth, its eventual decline, and the birth of Camp Bestival, showcasing Rob's adaptability and vision in navigating changes within the music and festival industries.Rob's transition into wellness signifies a profound evolution of his personal and professional ethos. He delves into his latest venture, Slow Mo, which aims to revolutionize the wellness experience through contrast therapy.

Rob passionately discusses the physical and mental health benefits of these practices, emphasizing their accessibility and potential to enhance everyday life. His vision for the future of wellness reflects a desire to create shared experiences that transcend traditional boundaries, inviting a wider audience to embrace the transformative power of self-care.

Last year it was my great pleasure to speak at Carfest, a huge summer festival here in the UK where the health and wellbeing zone Spafest brought together many leading lights in the areas of holistic wellbeing, mindfulness and the general pursuit of happiness.And twas there that I met the force of nature that is Donna Easton. Donna is a Joyologist, a performer, a presenter and the creator of Joyology. A highly sought after speaker, Donna's work can be found on TV, radio and she has written for national press including Hello! magazine, Stylist and The Express newspaper. Donna helps individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses re-frame mindsets and shift how we show up each day to re-connect with the real 'us'. Donna has hosted stages and delivered talks at events across the UK, including Car Fest, Camp Bestival, Mind Body Spirit Festival, Latitude and MOVE IT and has delivered keynotes for organisations such as Google, MARS and Holland & Barrett. She helps people re-connect with themselves, find their joy and maximise success in their lives and career.Donna's challenging personal journey puts her life's mission in context. Childhood bullying, an eating disorder and overnight hair loss gave her a deep appreciation of what really matters in life. And this is manifest throughout her life and work as a parent and as a coach.After a pretty challenging 2023, I think we all need a bit more joy in our lives and I'm looking forward to hearing Donna's take on how to reconnect with our best selves through the power of Joyology. And of course I'm curious to learn about the Unlock Moments of remarkable clarity that shaped her own life's journey.--Donna Easton: https://mylifeshines.com/Donna Easton on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mylifeshines/ --The Unlock Moment podcast is brought to you by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD.

Claire Hodgson is a theatre director who hates rules and who wants to make a difference to the world through the shows that she makes. I first met her last year at Camp Bestival, when she was coordinating the Guinness world record attempt for the largest number of simultaneous disco dancers!! 600 altogether - and they did it!!We talked about how Claire, her brother and her sister cleaned up on disco dancing medals as children and how she went on to found a company called Diverse City, and Extraordinary Bodies for circus artists. During lockdown she became a sea swimmer and last year she created a large-scale sea choreography he is just about to launch a theatre called SW!M in Swanage in Dorset. Her upcoming project is a musical called ‘Waldo's Circus of Magic & Terror' at the Bristol Old Vic. It is a new musical set in 1933 and is based based on true stories about how circuses smuggled people with disabilities out of Germany during WW2. Claire has a teenage daughter Scarlett who helped her coordinate the WhatsApp group for SW!M and who Claire feels very fortunate to have spent extra time with, because of lockdown.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones Hosted on Acast.

On the latest Classic Album Sundays podcast, we step back to Camp Bestival from a few years ago when Nick Drake's producer Joe Boyd joined us to discuss ‘Five Leaves Left' in length with Colleen. Alongside Joe's production the album features Richard Thompson (of Fairport Convention) and Danny Thompson (of Pentangle) as well as the beautiful string arrangements of Robert Kirby. Despite being championed by John Peel, the album initially sold less than 6,000 copies. Now, over four decades since Drake's death, Five Leaves Left is seen as an iconic album in British Folk music and his songs are cited as an influence by Peter Buck of REM and Robert Smith of The Cure.

I recorded this episode 3 hours after getting back from Camp Bestival, which might be a friendly family festival but one that still left me broken, dusty and sleep deprived from sleeping in a tent for four nights. So excuse a couple of unforced errors, an even more random selection of tracks than usual and forgetting to record the first minute or so! I opened with a couple of tracks from acts I saw over the weekend - Sister Sledge and Kool & The Gang, fitted in a few slow funky bubblers, a good few of my own and a couple of new promos. For the second hour I welcomed Wilson Frisk (AKA Craig Horsley) on to the show for a lovely guest mix. Craig has a show called Housebound which goes out every Wednesday 6-8pm UK on People's City Radio, and I was honoured to do a guest mix for his show just a few weeks back. It's worked out really nicely being able to return the favour and invite Wilson on so soon after. Expect high energy, hip-hop influenced vibes on this one. BPMs are pretty high, we've got lots of hip house and jackin stuff, and a nice bit of swagger to this mix.

In this episode, I chat with Becky Burchell, a talented and inspiring Arts Producer and Curator who specializes in “Hopeism” - the idea that sharing stories of hope through the arts can help us to imagine and create a better future. Becky is the founder of CHANGE Festival, a new arts festival in the UK which she created as a platform for inspirational performance, music, discussion, and workshops that invited audiences to consider their own role in manifesting positive change.  Becky has previously curated big-name festivals as an Arts Producer (like the UK's Bestival and Camp Bestival), creating areas and experiences across artforms from circus to carnival parades to spoken word. Becky has also worked with folk artist Sam Lee to produce the renowned Singing With Nightingale conservation event series, where musicians perform duets with wild nightingales in the woods. The World We Made premiered at CHANGE Festival 2019 and was a groundbreaking new play that Becky envisaged and produced, set in 2050, and inspired by pioneering environmentalist Jonathon Porritt's book of the same name. Becky is also a Fellow of the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity, an internationally renowned research centre at the University of Surrey. Fellows explore what prosperity can mean in a world of environmental, social, and economic limits. we talk about how the arts can play a vital role in supporting all of us to be innovative, courageous, and caring in the ways we create change both within our own lives and collectively.

I recorded this episode live about 2 hours after getting back from Camp Bestival, my first festival in exactly two years. I was absolutely exhausted so I'm not at my chattiest (probably a good thing!), but I decided to open the show with the absolute banger that is The Spirit by Mighty Mouse, simply because I heard it and danced to it a couple of times over the weekend. That's right - danced! Dancing's back, and boy did it feel good! I also mixed up tracks from Dr Packer, Probably Shouldn't, Mannix, Andy Buchan and a new freebie from myself. In the second hour It's my pleasure to welcome back the talented and amazing Wahine. Lauren was a guest on my show way back on Episode 19 in early 2020 and since then, despite covid preventing us ever meeting, we've become good friends and spent many hours enjoying music together thanks to the power of internet radio shows and chatrooms. Lauren has impeccable taste in music and is an excellent DJ, but above all else is a wonderfully positive, warm and supportive soul who is always willing to help or offer advice to anyone. The world needs more people like Lauren. Lauren's first appearance on the show was before I started asking for exclusive mixes, so her mix was taken (with her permission) from one already on her soundcloud. So this one is her first exclusive! As you'd expect from Wahine the track selection is flawless and the mixing silky smooth, but the vibe is perhaps a bit deeper than I'd normally expect from her. I like it a lot though, it's sultry, classy and very funky - it just shows how versatile she is as an artist. Huge thanks to Lauren for a stunning mix! Lauren's seriously busy at the moment - she's a resident on the amazing Spin City show, which if you're not already aware of you should be - https://soundcloud.com/imperial-leather. She also has a guest blog on Le Visiteur - https://levisiteuronline.com/category/wahine/, and has recently started an interview series for OGV - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLabqiQEH0Yq_LavUc_eEenj8vHAEXNGQA Please also give her a follow on the usual socials... https://soundcloud.com/wahinedj https://www.instagram.com/wahine_dj/ That's all folks, look after yourselves xx HOUR 1 TRACKLIST Mighty Mouse - The Spirit (Extended Mix) Bosq, Pat Kalla - Mouna Power Craig Scott - Edit 001 S.U.M.O. - Wintersong Mannix - Wettest Dreams Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - Be Easy Benny Golson - I'm Always Dancin' to the Music Disco Tech - You're A Winner Dr Packer - Ain't No Doubt From Beyond - Thought Engine (Sauco Balearic Matey Mix) The Trammps - Up On The Hill (Even Funkier Edit) Andy Buchan - Doo Wop Probably Shouldnt - Bogota (Straight & Shuffle Remix) Majuscule - Revision A (Black Coco) Dirtytwo - Sumthing Sumthing WAHINE GUEST MIX Nebraska - Instant Pressure [Razor-N-Tape] LTJ XPerience & Anduze - Bad Side [IRMA Records] Lord Finesse, Eddie Kendricks - Body Talk (TBG Mix) [UNI/Motown] Dj Vas, DJ Soulist - Groove On [Darker Than Blue Records] The Funk District - Get Down With The Rhythm [Disko Knights] Dagfest - Prism [Lovedancing] Touch of Class - I'm In Heaven (KON Edit) Dexter Jones - Jan Jam [Hot Digits] The Owl - Gary Bartz - What Am I Gonna Do (The Owl Remake) Saidêra - Deixa Tudo Fluir (Ray Mang Radio Edit) [Let's Play House] Julian Sanza - Seasons [Spa In Disco] Little Dragon - Thunder Love (JKriv's Deep Sleep Rework) Ezirk & Chemars - I Love You [And Friends]

In this episode, Kelly is joined by DJ and all round vibe provider Rob da Bank. Having co founded and run Bestival and Camp Bestival for close to 20 years, Rob and his wife Josie are now present in the wellness scene with their enterprise Sleep Retreat and most recently, Camp Earth. Knowing the strains life can have on the body and mind their mission is to create safe spaces for guests to unwind and reconnect. Kelly and Rob discuss that journey into wellness, why bringing people together with music has always been such a drive and how lockdown has affected the da Bank family in the last year.

Rob da Bank has been getting the party started for decades, ever since he first started DJing in the 1990s. But one of the biggest casualties of the Covid-19 crisis has been live music and festivals, and with the 2021 summer festival season now in doubt, we caught up with Rob to found how he has coped with this radical change in his life. We chat to Rob about how he's managing with homeschooling his four sons at home in the Isle of Wight, and why being able to spend time outdoors and in nature is keeping him going. As the co-founder, along with his wife Josie, of legendary festivals Bestival and Camp Bestival, we also talk about the sense of connection and belonging that people get from festivals, how they're nourishing for our souls and how we're all missing those release valves in our lives because of the lockdowns. Rob has moved into meditation teaching in the past few years, and so we also talk to him about how he's shifted his focus from making people happy through DJing, to helping them discover their true self through meditation. Rob and Josie now run Sleep Retreat, an ‘antidote to 21st century living' where yoga and meditation provide a calm respite from our over-screened worlds. https://sleepretreat.net Thanks so much to Rob for talking to us – we hope you enjoy it.

From Glastonbury to The End Of The Road, Summer festivals continue to colonise the countryside. But how do people pull together such enormous events year after year? In our 2017 Summer Festivals Special, Olly meets Pete Lawrence, co-founder of The Big Chill, which went from being a low-key ‘festival in a club’ for 150 people in Islington to an massive outdoor happening, taking over huge venues across Britain, with acts including Lily Allen, The Proclaimers, Basement Jaxx, and Leonard Cohen. How do you choose the perfect location for your booming event? How can you maintain counter-culture ethics whilst wooing corporate sponsors? And how can you keep the Police on-side when so many attendees are doing drugs? Pete - now founder of campfireconvention.uk - reveals all... Meanwhile, in this week’s Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart - fresh from sitting near Kate Adie at a train station - previews the Summer festivals you’ve never heard of, but should get tickets for NOW. In his top three are G!, in the Faroe Islands; the Archstoyanie Land Art Festival, 200 km southwest of Moscow; and, closer to home, the Brainchild festival, a ‘DIY and volunteer-led festival’ in East Sussex. Also, he explains why every festivalgoer needs a BioLite camping stove and Minipresso portable espresso machine, and receives an exciting invitation to Camp Bestival as part of his quest to become a true trends insider.
