Notting Hill Carnival CEO Matthew Phillip takes us behind the scenes to discuss his life and times at the helm of one of the world’s most spectacular and popular carnivals.
The AAA Backstage podcast series meets festival bosses to explore what lies behind the events and the people that run them. From driving floats at Notting Hill Carnival as a child to taking over as the vast event’s CEO, Matthew has been closely involved throughout his life in what has been the UK’s biggest and brightest street party since the mid 1960s.
An explosion of spectacular costumes and pumping rhythms against a backdrop of colourful Caribbean culture and cuisine; the inimitable event attracts around 2 million people each year and is the biggest carnival outside Brazil. Matthew discusses how the event has for him, his family, and many in the community, long been much more than a two-day party over the August Bank Holiday weekend.
This conversation was recorded at The Tabernacle in the centre of Notting Hill, the carnival’s HQ that’s not only home to the event’s management team but also sees everything from costumes being developed to bands rehearsing.
