Ep 450 – Craic by the Creek Festival and K Style Barbers

In this week’s programme, we’re celebrating community, culture, and a lifetime of stories.

In part one, we preview this year’s Craic by the Creek festival, a much-loved celebration of Irish music, arts, and culture. We’re joined by festival organisers Matt Kelly and Patrick Brennan, who tell us how the event has grown, what makes it so special, and give us a taste of the line-up in store for this year.

Then, in part two, we meet a true Manchester character. Ron Keeling, the man behind K Style Barbers, has been in business for over 60 years. From changing styles to changing times, Ron shares some of the many tales he’s gathered from decades behind the barber’s chair.
