Step into the world of Rave & Play — a family-first festival where toddlers trade nap time for dance time, and parents get to enjoy proper music without a single nursery rhyme in sight.In this episode of Tyne for Business, host Ashleigh King meets Holly Irving, founder of Rave & Play, to explore the story of an independent, inclusive festival built from a simple idea: that becoming a parent shouldn't mean giving up live music, dancing and a social life. What started as a "brainchild" during Holly's first pregnancy has grown into a genuinely accessible event where families can play, move and let loose together.From mums-and-baby dance classes and the meaning behind the word "rave," to learning to DJ at 40, the realities of funding independent creative work in the North East, and the loyal community of local families who keep coming back — this is a story about movement, connection, and one mum's courage to build the event she wished existed.What You'll HearHow Holly turned a pregnancy-era idea into an independent family festivalWhat "rave" really means — and the wide range of music on the line-upWhy Holly created dance and movement classes for parents, not just childrenHow props and play break down people's barriers to dancingMovement, mental health and the people who inspire Holly's workLearning to DJ at 40, and doing the things you want to do at any ageThe challenges of funding independent, accessible creative events in the North EastEverything happening at the festival — stages, workshops and live music at West Benridge FarmChapters00:00 Welcome to Tyne for Business 00:28 Introducing Rave & Play 01:06 Meeting Holly and the story behind Rave & Play 01:38 Finding the gap: dance and movement for parents 02:38 What "rave" really means — the music line-up 03:04 Dance, props and playful movement 04:04 Movement, mental health and inspiration 04:39 Learning to DJ at 40 05:34 Being a creative in the North East (and the funding gap) 06:28 Why Holly started Rave & Play 06:45 A co-organiser's view: ravers with kids 07:22 A local family's story 09:07 A family-first festival 09:20 Inside the festival: West Benridge Farm 10:03 Courage, support and ticket sales 10:48 Giving back to the community 11:11 Final reflections from Rave & Play 11:25 Thanks for listeningSpecial Thanks to Rave & PlayA huge thank you to everyone at Rave & Play for welcoming us in and sharing their stories.Rave & Play is a brilliant example of the independent businesses helping to shape creativity, community and family life in the North East.Thank you to the Rave & Play TeamHolly - Founder and Creative ProducerPeter - DJSophie - Rave & Play Supporterhttps://raveandplay.com/Buy Your Tickets to Rave & Play at Benridge Farmhttps://www.tickettailor.com/events/raveandplay/2038112About Tyne for BusinessTyne for Business is a documentary-style podcast and video series from Flamingo Heights Podcast Studio, celebrating the independent businesses, communities and people shaping the North East of England.Through conversations and place-based storytelling, we explore the stories behind the businesses that make our region unique.Connect with Tyne for BusinessInstagram — instagram.com/tyneforbusinessFacebook — https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591590248239Website — tyneforbusiness.co.ukCreditsProduced by Flamingo Heights Podcast StudioExecutive Producer & Host — Ashleigh KingDirector & Editor — Joel LowsonCamera — Thomas YoungProducer & Photographer — Chloe FergieGraphics — Alistair Rollshttps://www.flamingoheights.co.ukIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider following, rating and sharing the podcast episode.
