Music festivals are created by people with the vision and commitment to jump through hoops and over hurdles, and generally work very hard. Today's episode tells the story of how Allen Valleys Folk Festival came to be, as Craig Atkinson and Peter Alcroft describe how they pursued their ambition to make it the North’s premier small folk festival by involving the community and paying close attention to audience needs.
