Neill Wilkinson

Neill Wilkinson

Neill has been making radio programmes since the 2000s (if you don’t count him making shows as a kid on cassette tapes). Starting off in community radio, he learned the basics and then cemented his progress with a course in Radio Production at Manchester’s School of Sound Recording. Then, after several years working in local radio, podcasts came along and Neill began making a weekly, light-hearted video-podcast aimed at the LGBTQ community which was also screened on several local TV channels. After this ended during lockdown, Neill decided that his next logical step was to make a new podcast about one of his favourite subjects - rock festivals!
