Say hello to Fiona and Rhodri at Gaymers

After spending the summer running around the country making sure that Gaymers' sponsorship of the festival season went super-smoothly, Gaymers Music HQ managed to corner Rhodri and Fiona and ask them a question or two about what they do at Gaymers and the music they love.

In the future Rhodri and Fiona are both going to get involved in a bit of blogging action over here. For now though, here's what they told us . . .
