Phil Simpson, a semi-professional musician, came to East Yorkshire as a student and has stayed ever since. He's been in Beverley for the last four years or so and is one of the team behind the Beverley Fringe Festival.
The Fringe Festival has always been run in tandem with the Beverley Folk Festival but when that disappeared, the fringe upped activity and has grown. Usually run on this weekend in June and involving people and venues all over the town, the festival has, for 2020, gone online. Visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/beverleyfringefestival/ to join in with activity on June 20th from 9.30am until 11pm.
We talk about Phil's love of living in Beverley and which cafe he thinks is the best in the whole town.
We also get a performance of Walking on a Mission by Phil and his wife Jessica Lawson, a song which was written by Phil.
