Meet Alan Govan of the Mugstock Festival Glasgow Conversations

    • Places & Travel

Meet Alan Govan of the Mugstock Festival of Music and Merriment. In this enthralling interview, listen to Alan talk passionately about how to put on a not-for-profit, but totally ambitious community festival from scratch. He took a long-standing dream moulded only a little by sheer punnery, and transformed it into a crowdfunded sensation that's going to blow Glasgow's socks off in August this year. How he and his outstanding team of volunteers have managed to amass the world class line up (some of which is revealed exclusively in this interview) is pretty mystifying, but more impressive is how it's being designed with diversity in mind. You can look forward to artistic, scientific, and downright captivating installations & events dotted around the festival site, all geared towards putting on a weekend of pure merriment for all ages and types, and you'll hear about the innovative ways to get there & camp. Mugdock, stunningly popular as it already is, is about to be put firmly on the map!
