ATHENS CALLING: Hello Harry, I ‘m really glad chatting with you, for another time cause I think that FM4 FREQUENCY FESTIVAL is a Great Summer Party of Sounds in Europe !

ATHENS CALLING: This year FM4 FREQUENCY FESTIVAL becomes 19 years old, so I will ask you to tell us, what was for you, the best moment of the Festival, during all these 19 years?
HARRY JENNER: Well cleary the beginning were among the best kept memories as I was learning 10 new things every minute and all was fresh and new and full of wonders :-)… probably two… one with Metallica 2003 for the first time together on stage and 2nd 2009 with Radiohead coming finally to Austria for their first time
ATHENS CALLING: …And any worst moment of FM4 FREQUENCY FESTIVAL?

HARRY JENNER: Well with the answer to this I can fill books in more than 25 years of experience!

ATHENS CALLING: Tell us please, about your strengths, from the festival Pr.Manager position?
HARRY JENNER: Though question as everyone might see this in a different shape, if you ask myself I would say I’m best when there is quite some important decisions
To make and all 10 of them in the same second, you need to focus, prioritize and they should be correct and save too ! But also in the long time logistic planning and my personal strength in this field is that I still love to go to visit other festivals and
I can see the festival very clearly from the audience point of view

ATHENS CALLING: How difficult is it, I mean to organize a festival in those days with all about the economic crisis… What do you think about it?
HARRY JENNER: Well we are very well set up and our strength so far, next to quie some others points, we can adopt quite quick to customer changes and changes in needs.If you have a good product, the crisis (if there is any currently??) becomes irrelevant
