BARNFIELD RADIO

Trying to communicate the entire Barnfield story in 15 second clips or photos with long paragraphs of text on Instagram hasn't been easy - especially given recent algorithm changes!

That's why, when Alan Bell from Kilted Bushido Builds invited me on to his IG Live show, Bushido Brake'down, I jumped on the chance.

Alan's a true gentleman. A custom bike builder, family man and philosopher, he started running IG Live sessions over the Covid lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 to bring the community together.

We connected on Instagram and primarily through my posts featuring the 21 point Barnfield Manifesto. 

We discuss everything from the initial inspiration behind Barnfield, through to the values that lead the brand, building motorbikes, sharing my journey, the difficulties of producing clothing in the UK and the great sustainability question.

I'm genuinely so thankful to him for creating a platform for me to tell my story. You can follow Alan over on Instagram at @kilted_bushido_builds.

I'm looking at using YouTube more to allow me to go longer form with progress insights so if you're keen to follow along, don't forget to subscribe.

You can watch the show on Youtube or listen to it over on Spotify or Apple Podcasts by clicking the links below.

Those of you who've been following for a while now will remember the podcast I recorded with Conor O'Donnell. I'm keen to add to the collection and to pull out interesting stories from people who have a connection with motorcycles.

If you, or someone you know would be interested in joining me for a podcast session, please email me back let me know!
