Following the success of the First series of the Whispering Bobcast featuring such illustrious artists as Rosanne Cash, The Wandering Hearts, Richard Thompson, Lukas Nelson, Raul Malo, Ida Mae and more - the BobFest featured a wonderfully eclectic set of artists who descended on the garden of Whispering Bob Harris, the legendary BBC music broadcaster for the very first #WhisperingBobcast #Bobfest.

The show was broadcast live with the assistance of the Northern Cowboys on Facebook and Roots Live as well as exclusive content and extras via a ticketed stream.

“I am absolutely thrilled that I’ll be hosting a live online #bobfest music festival on 15th August here at the @utatsessions studios and I would love you to join us online. We are confirming a stunning line up of some of my favourite artists, all of whom will be playing live. It’s going to be amazing. There’ll be special guests, playlists, interviews, conversation and a deep dive into the @utatsessions archive to show you some of the fantastic performances filmed here in the studio over the past few years.”
