Simon Thackary is famous for such oddball events as the Yorkshire Pudding Boat Race, in which the boats are made of actual Yorkshire pudding:

Thackary runs The Shed, a North Yorkshire poetry and music venue.

review from The Guardian:

"The insiders' guide to the world's best small music venues- Musicians, DJs and authors to reveal their favourite hangouts
by Hank Wangford:
"The Shed was the inspiration for my tour of village halls around Britain, which I am currently writing up as a book. And, after 235 villages, The Shed is still the loony best."
