OverJam Diary Day 1

-

 The first day of festival has been running smooth and fun. A lot of work but done with love, for the music and for our fellows. Along with the guys of Roots in Session, we succesfully streamed OverJam Radio from the Beach Stage. It is a demanding but incredibly fullfilling experience having the chance to spread the festival vibes all over the world.

Incredible, after talking about this for so long, to see it happens.

(laughs) Seriously, I feel incredibly lucky. I made a reality of my dream, and when your dream become your job, it's not a job anymore. We are really blessed. Q- It must feel really good to think how far you have gone since the beginning .. . Yes. Well honestly it's not something I think that often. I hardly ever look back. I always think to the next thing . After 15 years we still have projects and goals to achieve, maybe even more and this is really beautiful. We both feel  the urge to look ahead than behind.

 The last day of festival it is always hard, emotionally, mentally and practically. We also had to face some extra challenges beyond our control, but as it happens everytime, all was faced with a positive and proactive spirit of collaboration, in friendship, in love, in unity, demonstrating that 'One love, One life, One aim ' ae not only nice but empty words, but something we lived by. Puoring rain was already falling early in the morning when we gathered on the beach stage to set up the radio broadcasting for the day. So we quickly menaged to move the stage indoor, of course easy to say but hard to do.
