Ed interviews Dick Stanger, a man who has truly propelled the cultural scene in Chippenham forward, being involved not only in the early (and latter) days of the Chippenham Folk Festival, but in many other local cultural initiatives as well. A performer himself who does Morris dancing among other things, he has wore many different professional hats throughout his life, and we are very fortunate and privileged to have him share his vast experience with us. Thank you Dick, and many thanks for sharing with us your archive photos, which we have used in this years Folk Festival 50th anniversary promo video as well, that we made for it, because we wanted to do our bit to support them.
