Our take on Sonic Fields podcast

Sonic Fields is like a time machine, guided by Sam Tyler, that takes you back to the roots of the festival scene in Britain. It kicks off with Sam opening a book and a family photo box, sparking a year-long dive into festival history. The highlight? Meeting Ray Foulk, who helped create the legendary Isle of Wight festival in 1970, drawing a number of people as never before and kicking off the festival culture. This seven-part series not only revisits the massive event but also explores the birth of the free festival movement. It's a fascinating listen for any music lover.
