Festival Q&A:
Martin Peirson
With a collection of quirky self-written songs under his belt the musician heads to Beverley Folk Festival (16-18 June) with his band the Runaway Train
Who else are you excited to see at Beverley?
Henry Priestman and Edwina Hayes.
What’s your best festival memory?
Chatting to Nanci Griffith back stage at Cambridge Folk Festival – and her bursting into an Edwina Hayes song when her name was mentioned.
What are your festival essentials?
Good music, food/drink but essentially the atmosphere. Oh, and wellies.
How does playing a festival differ from playing your own gig?
Although some of those in front of you might be aware of your music it’s fantastic to share it with a mixed festival audience – usually all age groups.
What’s your favourite part of playing a festival?
Riding on the feelgood factor that is usually in the air. It’s all about being among like-minded people just enjoying music.
