Arts Podcast: Victor Hugo Centre, Eisteddfod, and focus on festivals
On this month's show with Simon De La Rue, we hear about exciting plans to celebrate the local legacy of Victor Hugo, find out what the visiting music adjudicator makes of what he has seen — and heard — at the Eisteddfod, and explore the impact of the island's festival scene.
Larry Malcic, the chairman of the Victor Hugo Centre Group, tells us about its plans for a new landmark attraction and performance space in St Peter Port, visiting Eisteddfod music adjudicator Ben Costello share his thoughts on first experience of the event — and the talent on show, and we sit down with Jade Kershaw from the Vale Earth Fair Collective, Claire Allen from the Guernsey Literary Festival, and Guernsey Arts' Russ Fossey to talk about the local festival scene.
