Industry voices: Rob da Bank

Rob Da Bank is a radio 1 DJ and music producer. He runs the Bestival summer festival which began with a Sunday Best tent at Glastonbury and started at Robin Hill on the Isle of Wight with an audience of 7,000 people in 2004. In 2008 40,000 people went to the summer's final fling, packed with ukulele players, physics demonstrations, laughter clubs and a killer line-up.

His record label is called Sunday Best -- it launched Groove Armada and Lemon Jelly back in the late '90s and is currently home to Dan le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip and Kitty, Daisy and Lewis. His musical alter ego is called Lazyboy.
