Music, Mud and Making Money
Designed for GCSE business studies students, the programme goes backstage at a music festival to explain five important business concepts. Presented by Radio 1's Greg James.
Over 400 festivals take place in Britain every year, but as Radio 1's Greg James finds out, there is more to them than just a weekend of music and fun. Festivals are big business and serve to illustrate some key business concepts.
Designed for GCSE business studies students, the programme goes backstage at a music festival to explain five important concepts: entrepreneurship, sole trading, franchises, companies and profit and loss. The films feature interviews with festival traders and key music industry businesses, from an enterprising tent hire company to the ice-cream franchise dishing out hundreds of cones to sweet-toothed festival goers.
