EP#4 - Chris Sherry (Digital Lead) @ Teddy Rocks Festival: Teddy Rocks turning 10, changing lives & raising money through the power of rock music
42m | Apr 23, 2023Chris Sherry first got involved with the Teddy Rocks Festival by helping a friend do the lighting when it was held at the Greyhound pub in Blandford Forum. A chance glance at the website and a message to the festival director and sound guy (it will make sense after listening) later and Chris created the first proper website you see when you type Teddy Rocks into a search engine.
Teddy Rocks has steadily grown year on year to a 5000 capacity and raising more and more money as the years have gone by, raising £60,000 in 2022 while bouncing back from a pandemic in the process.
Chris speaks about the non-linear way he became the digital lead for the festival, what goes into organising a festival primarily run by volunteers, winning Best Family Festival at the UK Festival Awards 2022 and a few of the bands gracing the stage in 2023.
