The Adventures of Andy Kershaw

Andy Kershaw truly has no off switch. Already he’s lived ten lives to everyone else’s one. As a teenager, he was promoting major rock gigs. He was Billy Bragg’s driver and roadie one day and presenting Whistle Test and Live Aid the next. A born rebel and a maverick, he’s combined his passion for music with a lunatic curiosity and an instinct for frontline journalism, reporting for the BBC and the broadsheets from the world’s most extreme countries – Iraq, North Korea (he’s been four times), Haiti, Angola and Rwanda during the genocide.

Andy is among the UK’s most-decorated broadcasters, working for Radio 4 and, for fifteen years, as a Radio 1 DJ, where he shared an office with John Peel and legendary producer John Walters. It was Andy’s enthusiasms that made him the central figure in the popularisation of world music. More recently a presenter on Radio 3, he has also worked for the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. His record collection weighs seven tons and he’s seen his own intestines. He’s been knocked down but he’s back up again – as strong as a monkey’s tail!

High Barn is spectacular Grade II* listed medieval venue based in Great Bardfield. The incredible character and acoustics of the building have been preserved by an outer shell leaving the timbers exposed internally, this has created a truly beautiful space with a unique ambience.

There is an oak stage and dance floor with full theatre sound & lights, an oak and glass entrance lobby and an elm faced store and toilet area with a gallery above.

High Barn houses all modern facilities, including an excellent bar and for those colder winter days there is underfloor heating.

High Barn is 20 minutes from Stansted, London Airport and easy distance from M11 and M25 motorways.
