At the recent Street Music Conference in Norwich, Kirsty Martin presented the story of organising the 2018 Street Choirs Festival with her quire, Hullabaloo in Brighton. Kirsty's account reveals fascinating insights into the various politics involved with organising a Festival for choirs with diverse political and musical outloooks, while at the same time involving local people and taking into account the political issues of the place in which the festival is held. Taking on such an organising task, is it at all possible to keep everyone happy?
