A sold-out field in Kibworth

Nashville Days is a country music festival run out of Bridge House Barn in Kibworth, a village south of Leicester. It sold out in 2024 and came back bigger in 2025. From the air you can see why people travel for it: a whole field turned over to live bands and line dancing, with a crowd that fills the site.

The organisers needed two things from the weekend. Coverage for the main event film, and a trailer that would sell the next year’s tickets before the field had even cleared. Both had to capture an atmosphere that ground-level cameras alone tend to miss.

I worked the whole site from the air. Wide passes set the barn and the layout. Top-down framing caught the line dancing. FPV runs cut through the crowd to the bands at full tilt. That range gave the organisers a library to pull from rather than one locked-off angle. For the trailer, I cut my drone and FPV work against phone footage shot by guests and influencers on the day. The polished aerial brings the production value; the crowd footage brings the first-person energy that makes someone want a ticket. Together they read as both finished and real.

A festival trailer has one job: sell the next one. This one had the scale to look worth the drive and the candid energy to feel like one you’d regret missing. That mix is hard to fake, and it’s exactly what a festival living on word of mouth needs.
