The sun is SHINING + that means one thing in my world... FESTIVAL SEASON IS CLOSE!! (I can almost taste it 👅) I have a handful of weekends left available so here’s a lil reminder of what I can do (with some cute team pics from the archives 🥹): 📲 Co-ordinate your on-site socials + make your feed and stories POPPIN 🎬 Create content end to end; whether that’s lo-fi highlight vids, vox pops, interview content ✍️ Curate a content team or full media team around your event 🔨 Bridge the gap between ops + comms in a crisis comms or advisory role 🌸 Look after a specific campaign on site, from brand partner content to sustainability initiatives 🧠 Build your on-site content strategy so you make the most of the live show ✨ Deliver post-show content sprints + launch campaigns 🎨 Come up with something weird + wonderful + totally specific to your show Got something that doesn’t fit that list? Tell me anyway. I’ve worked festival builds and live shows of all sizes, from Glastonbury and Boomtown to tiny indie festivals, and across the world from the mountains of Rise Festival to the desert of Oasis in Marrakech. Happy in a managerial or self-operator role, as part of a team or leading one. If your summer has a show in it, let’s CHAT BBZ!!

Dulcie Horn @du1cie is the founder of @chuffed.digital , a creative strategy studio working across festivals and experience creators. Horn has been vocal about the need for greater gender representation within festival media spaces, an area that continues to lag behind other parts of the industry. In our conversation (link in bio) Dulcie reflects on building Chuffed from the ground up, the realities of running a business within a seasonal sector, and the importance of staying close to the communities that shape festival culture. photo credit for Dulcie's photos at Glasto @amyfernphotography

As a nostalgia freak, I’m loving this 2016 throwback trend... and tbh 2016 me was a legend, a chaotic amount of energy I can’t even comprehend anymore! It was a time of change. IG stories had just been invented, festivals still lived mostly on Facebook, event pages were still king, Glastonbury was muddy (and Brexit was announced), and many beloved boutique festivals were having their final shows. I lost most of my pre-2018 photos (including BOTH India trips 💔) when I changed/lost/broke a phone that wasn’t backed up to the cloud. But one pocket that survived was an absolutely vintage festival season plus some autumn club nights. I was living in Bristol with my pal @georgianaslc , barely scraping through final year, working club nights, running my businesses, and prepping to leave for India. It was the summer I graduated, landed my first big boy festival jobs, ran my headpiece and glitter businesses for the FOURTH year, and prepared to sofa surf then disappear to India for five transformative months (where I also started @thatfestivalife !) A year of: very strong fringes, gun fingers in every photo (?!), jumping between so many parties/festivals/afters/genres/friendship groups that I feel exhausted just looking at these pics. I turned 23 that June and vowed to have my shit sorted with a “real job” by 24 – because that’s how old @rhikimchi and @rosscinema were when I met them, my career idols 🥹 What an era! Feel blessed to still have or have reconnected to so many pals from that time too 💘

The legend that is king Sophie J @dirty_dumb turned 40 yesterday, so here is a carousel in their honour. Very sad I cannot be at the celebrations 🎈 ps. I’m clearly obsessed with you and @vikibrowne judging by these photos?

What’s the arm in having a good time? xo

Some views are just too good to be vertical 🫣 Just wrapped up the most incredible fortnight in Egypt and I’m still buzzing from it tbh. Started off spending new years at a retreat by the Red Sea setting intentions, snorkelling and doing sunrise yoga with the lovely gals at @backtourroots ✨ Then we headed over to Luxor for goddess temples, hot air balloon rides over the Valley of the Kings, and some bougie hotel chilling. Capped it all off with a couple of nights in Cairo seeing the actual PYRAMIDS!! Huge love to the legend that is @krusthob for planning this whole thing and for being our Egyptian guide. Leaving Egypt feeling very inspired, very rejuvenated and very grateful 🌞 P.S. Just touched down in Sri Lanka for the next month holler if you’re here 👁️

When someone offers to take professional videos at 4.30am before your hot air balloon ride in egypt for $30 it is very important that you say yes. We have never lolled so much in our life getting the full [30 minute!] cut of this video back and the photo gallery. We love you @skylineballoonss 🎈 Thanks for looking after us, and for the night out the next day!!! Footage by Skyline, edit by me, tune by @dystinct1 [Shazammed in the balloon pilot’s car!]
