When it comes to Splendour, music fans often focus on the great bands in the line-up but rarely stop to think about what goes into making an event like this work. The festival is the result of a lot of hard work by many team members under the organisation of the DHP family.
The DHP family are most known for running the historic music venue, Rock City which has recently celebrated over 40 years in business in Nottingham. Surprisingly, it's still a family-run business although they have added many more venues to the list since then.
Managing Director George Akins took over running Rock City in the 90s from his father, George Akins Senior. He has been involved with organising events, festivals and live music across the city ever since including Splendour and other gigs at Wollaton Park.
