about us
general information
|
|
Whilst the board, Paul McCreesh,
Jane and Alison and (crucially) Cally our accountant, work all year
round to put the festival on, Brinkburn Music totally depends on a
large team of staff and volunteers who come together under the direction
of our site manager, Caroline Simpson, for two weekends in July to
transform the tranquil priory into a professional festival venue.
Meet the team and our festival partners. |
