In this episode of The Local Palate, Cam O’Keefe sits down with Hugo T Armstrong — founder of the Blues Train, long-time festival director, and one of Geelong’s most passionate live music advocates.

From the early days of Queenscliff Music Festival to food trucks, venue culture and the pressures facing today’s promoters, Hugo shares stories from three decades in events and entertainment. It’s a conversation full of humour, insight and hard-won wisdom from someone who’s helped shape the region’s cultural identity.
