We catch up with Sandra Surtees, the force behind Shrewsbury Folk Festival - one of the UK’s leading festivals of its kind (arguably THE top folk festival in the UK, especially as Cambridge isn't on this year).
🎵 "For Sandra, it is - and always has been - all about the music" 🎵 - Katy Rink
Find out what inspired Sandra and her husband Alan to start a festival way back in the mid 1990s, how she has managed to keep building it from strength to strength after Alan's death in 2017 - and how at 71, she is still as committed as ever to the music and musicians she brings to Shrewsbury.
