New Noise: 3rd August '11 - Field Day Special

Now in its fifth year celebrated annual music festival Field Day returns to London’s Victoria Park this Saturday with its largest, most eclectic bill yet. On this week’s New Noise I spend an hour in the company of event organiser Tom Baker, during which I look to find out a bit more about the man himself – his background, passions and personal music taste - and also ponder what on earth might drive a person to get involved in setting up such a musically bold music festival in the middle of the capital.

Along with a few of the bands included in this year’s line up Tom also shares the kind of music that inspired him to move to London and get a job in the music industry in the first place, plus a few songs that helped him on his way to establishing his own event promotions organisation; Eat Your Own Ears.
