“It’s our first time in Armidale, so we didn’t know what to expect, but the sun was shining and the crowds were out so we’re happy,” John said.
“We had about five or six shows, there was a lot going on.”
There were six acts followed by the band Brothers3 of X-Factor fame, who played for two hours.
“Armidale Regional Council contacted us and asked what we had that we could bring to Armidale to invigorate the city centre,” John said.

“So we thought we could bring [up] one day of our festival and Armidale Regional Council have covered the expenses for today.”
John said it was difficult to bring everyone together to make the trip.
“We left Coffs at about 6am with five vehicles. We had a transit van and four other vehicles,” he said.
“It was a little bit hard and we got home about 6pm, then we had a three hour comedy show to do after we got back.”
