Rob Chappers: live4guitar interview

Tell us about Monkey Fest!

“Unfortunately Monkey Fest has been postponed until next year. I have so much stuff going on that it’s impossible to manage everything. There are lots of legal issues to consider when organising a festival and I don’t have a dedicated events organiser for it. If I had done the festival this year I would have completely ruined it! Guthrie Govan had to pull out of it to play with Dizzie Rascal so that was the last straw. Fear not though, Monkey Fest should be organised for next year, providing that I can find a reliable and trustworthy person to do this for me. full interview
