00:00This is the 90s festival, so we started back in May just to try and get a bit of an idea
00:16and we've just ran with it and we've ended up with this, that 90s festival, yeah?
00:20There isn't anything really in Corby of this magnitude, I wouldn't say, to go and see DJs
00:28that are out in the charts and whatnot, you can't see them in Corby, at a festival anyway,
00:34you have to go Leicester, Birmingham, London and spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds
00:39on hotels and being someone from Corby, I come from Snatch Hill Estate, I didn't have
00:45much money growing up, I always wanted to do stuff like this and I thought, if I can
00:49do it, why not?
00:51And here we are, yeah.
00:53Some people can't afford to go to Creamfields and pay 180 quid on a ticket and then pay
00:59for hotels and pay for train and pay for travel, pay for drink, people can't afford to do that.
01:03People that are 18, 19 that still live at home can, but what about people that are my
01:07age 30, 40, 50 that want to go, that have got kids at home that can't afford to even
01:11pay their bills sometimes.
01:13Tickets here were from £5, so I've tried to make it as affordable as possible and I
01:18think I've done just that, just about, so hopefully no-one's going to spend a fortune.
01:24Yeah, within 10 days to go we sold out completely, so we hit our capacity about 10 days ago.
01:31So we've already got one Halloween time, we're planning a Halloween party already, this time
01:36next year we've already enquired about a DJ that is absolutely huge, I didn't even think
01:41about being able to have this guy but he spoke to us and it's in good measure, so this time
01:46next year, same again but bigger, 100% yeah, 100%.
01:50So I've got a date in plan already, 30th August 2025, that 90th festival again.
