Voices From The Now: A Podcast By Boomtown Boomtown Fair

"Spirit is clean water, spirit is an act of kindness, spirit is good food for people who are hungry and water when people are thirsty, it's fire when people are cold". For the final instalment of Boomtown 'Voices from The Now' before The Gathering on August 10th. We spoke to co-founder Lak Mitchell and elder Mac MacCartney about the Boomtown journey and how Mac has mentored Lak over recent years. They discussed how we all can learn from ancient civilisations, change how we view connect and can learn to respect ourselves, each other and the planet.

We spoke to our friend, the Bristol-based, vocalist and producer Grove about one the pillars that guide everything we do 'Respect for Yourself'. Grove discussed self-care, wellbeing and how respect for yourself plays such a strong part in personal and collective growth. Grove is a blend of dancehall, punk, pop and jungle, and they are absolutely killing it on the live scene right now. They have a strong message about LGBTQ+ rights and harm reduction, at festivals, in music and beyond.
