00:00So this is my hometown, Lyddon. I always try and come back to the festival. It's somewhere that I've grown up in Lyddon.

00:16It's a place, Lyddon Green here, it's amazing to see this type of event on in my hometown.

00:26I grew up here, went to school locally, I live abroad at the minute. I live and work in the Middle East.

00:32I've travelled back this morning actually, overnight, 3,500 miles to be here.
