An Awesome Weekend

There are not enough words to describe how good the entire weekend felt.

From the word go the festival grounds set the stage for some of the most amazing and beautiful performances that left everybody around smiling and wanting more. Celebrating the amazing talent of the Northern Beach while at the same time hosting acts from all over Australia.

The Northern Beaches Music Festival has been warming up to last weekend for the last year and on the back of some extremely hard work. Before I start posting up the festival that was I want to let everyone know who put their bit in to make this festival happen.

The Creator – Paul Robertson::::: From the idea to the festival he has put all his energy over the last 3 years making this thing work and has to be respected for an amazing effort over the weekend. Great Work Paul!

The Disciples – Roxana Jarolimek::::: If you bought a ticket, performed or basically wondered who was doing all of the tough tasks that involved time, thought and energy this is the person you should be thanking. Great Work Roxana!

MONA VALE MUSIC! – All there is to say is, without the support of this awesome music store, there would be no festival. 3 venues were powered by their sound equipment and the marquee was sponsored by them and! They also ran the marquee sound all weekend. Make sure when you’re in their store you thank them for such an amazing job. Great Work MONA VALE MUSIC!
