We’re delighted to have BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Steve Lamacq return to Float Along Festival this year, for more tales of music old and new as part of his ‘Going Deaf for a Living’ show. This will follow with a Q&A session, so get those questions ready! “Going Deaf for a Living” is Steve’s candid reflection of several decades spent on the frontline of the alternative music scene. As a writer at the NME and co-host of The Evening Session, Steve attended hundreds of gigs and collected a lifetimes supply of musical encounters. From witnessing Richey Edwards of the Manic Street Preachers cutting 4Real into his arm to the infamous Oasis interview that sparked national outrage, Going Deaf for a Living provides the first-hand account of some of British music's most memorable moments.
