I was lucky enough to be invited to talk on the Seven O'clock show on BBC radio Shropshire with Frestival founder Rhea Alton and local celebrity Chef Chris Burt, hosted by Mark Elliot. We talked about the inspiration for the event coming partly from Rhea's Fibromyalgia.

We talked about why the issues with allergies have been increasing in the last decade and how that has impacted the catering and restaurant industry. Which from Chris Burt's point of view has also brought a level of creative and inspired thinking into his creations.

The original show was aired on Thursday 16th 7pm on BBC radio Shropshire and this except is taken from just after 8pm
