Andrew Marston introduces Libby Akerman (Broadway)

Unsigned, undiscovered and under-the-radar music from the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.

• From rags to riches: Meeting the former homeless musician who's now running his own gaming company and employing others from his town.

• In our Musicians' Masterclass, we look at the world of social media and how to conquer the apps that could make you go viral.

• She was due to give a debut performance at the world-famous Cavern Club in March 2020; we'll hear one of the first-ever performances from the spellbinding singing sensation Libby Akerman as performed on our stage at the Hay Festival Winter Weekend.

• Continuing our annual Christmas tradition, we'll have a solid hour of 100% live music - with highlights from LakeFest, the Virtual Nozstock celebrations, our Airwaves online festival and the best of our at-home sessions.
