Matthew Smith has written to suggest that Big John, a radio presenter who hosted a breakfast show on Hallam FM for over a quarter-century, should be enlisted as a host for the Tramlines Festival in the coming year. Smith emphasises Big John's extensive connection to local audiences across Sheffield and South Yorkshire and notes the geographic proximity of the festival to where Big John once broadcast.

The proposal frames Big John as an appropriate choice given his established presence in the community and his years of experience entertaining the local region. Smith presents this as a fitting way to incorporate established local talent into the festival's hosting arrangements.
