Tapescript:

Interviewer: Hello again,

Today in the studio we have Rob and Susie, a couple who have turned their hobby into a

business.

First of all though - how did you two meet? Because thats part of the story.

Rob: We met about three years ago. I lived in England, near London and I was at the Richmond

Music Festival and Susie, whos from Prague, had come to England with some friends for

three days. We were just standing next to each other, in front of a stage. Susie speaks English

and we ended up talking about how great it would be just to spend a year going to different

festivals all the time.

Susie: We wanted to see each other again and kept in touch by email. We only met at festivals for

the rst year we knew each other. We went to six altogether.

Int: So how did an interest in music festivals turn into a business?

Susie: Well, there are so many music festivals, its quite difcult to get information sometimes

about how to get there, whats going on and where. So we designed a web site to provide

information for people to see and download from. That was successful, so we turned it into

a business.

Int: That sounds interesting, tell us more!

Rob: Well, if you want to go to Sydney or Rio de Janeiro for example, travel companies will

book you into a ve star hotel, arrange tickets and y you anywhere in the world, its very

expensive. We wanted to concentrate on younger people and the events they want to go to:

mostly music based and not so far away. So our company concentrates on that part of the

market.

Susie: Its not just music though. All over Europe there are local festivals throughout the summer.

And where theres any kind of festival theres always music - especially in somewhere like

Spain.

Int: Do you organise travel for people ?

Rob: The problem is, if you arrange travel for people, which isnt hard to do, it then becomes like

a boring package holiday. It would make good money but part of the fun, the adventure, is

setting off with your backpack and nding your way there. Theres a great sense of freedom

and responsibility. Young people enjoy that. And if people enjoy their experience they will

use our company again; if not - they wont.

Int: Did either of you have any business experience before you started?


3/4


Rob: I did - I studied Tourism and Leisure at college and then I got a job in a travel agents, quite

near to where I live, about 10 kilometres from the airport. I could just about survive on the

money, but really it was great opportunity to learn about ticket sales, agents, bookings and

that kind of thing; that was the real motivation.

Int: You must have been to lots of festivals, which one was the best youve been to?

Susie: My favourite is still Richmond

Rob: Because you met me there

Susie: No. I did meet Rob there, but really it was the music. I really love World Music, but Richmond

is just about African Music. It was fascinating to hear stuff from all across Africa. Although

it wasnt well organised at times, I loved it. The real highlight though was just one guy who

sat on the stage for nearly an hour with just a little kind of guitar, and sang simple folk

songs. He was the best act ever

Int: Rob?

Rob: Richmond too. I love African music and Richmond is just great. It was the third time Id

been.

Int: What was the worst?

Rob/Susie: Glosterbury!

Int: Wheres that?

Susie: West of England. We were camping and it rained quite a lot although it wasnt cold. The

weather wasnt the problem though: it was having our stuff stolen. Well not stolen, but lost.

We got it all back but for about two hours we thought it had all gone forever. I had my

passport, ID card, credit cards and everything in my bag

Int: What happened?

Susie: We had to move our tent, we were in the wrong place and we just couldnt nd our bags when

we had nished. We got them back later from the security people. They said theyd been

found somewhere.

Int: Well it was lucky in the end. What do you imagine your company will be like in the future,

in 5 years time for example, Susie? What are your hopes?

Susie: I think itll still be successful, I dont just mean nancially. I want to enjoy the business and

see lots of places, though I think Ill get bored with the travelling. Most of all I want an

interesting lifestyle and the company will give me that. Thats essential. I want to be involved

all the time and not employ too many people.

Int: Rob? What about you?


4/4


Rob: I agree with Susie, I dont want the company to be so big that we loose touch with it. But what

I really want is to live in as many different countries as I can. Not just for a few weeks but

for a year or so, then move on, it would be a great way to run the company. Id love that. I

wouldnt buy a house anywhere until Id seen lots of places. Maybe one day Ill settle in one

place but I doubt it.

Int: Best of luck for the future. Thank you both very much for being with us.

Next week in the studio..
