The people behind Backseat Events

Meet the team
behind it all.

Backseat Events was founded by Jake Williams and David Carr in Peterborough. You’ll find us planning shows, loading vans and behind the desk—not just behind an email address. We stay involved from the first conversation to the last cable packed away.
