Bellingen - what a time.

It was so busy and lovely all at once. Sharing the stage with Sal Kimber & The Rollin' Wheels was a delight, there's something so special about working with Sal. We had a run through the day before the festival and I immediately felt like I'd known her for ever. A beautiful soul and musician to be around. I also had the chance to share the stage with my friend Kodi under her new project Naga Buah. Having worked on this project in it's demo stage in the studio and then stepping onto stage was a really cool thing! It's always epic seeing your friends projects grow and develop, even better when you're a part of it!
I think my favourite thing about these smaller festivals are the little bits and bobs you get pulled into. For me this year it was the Bello Street Parade. I had a real hoot walking the street of Bello with my old drum teacher to my side (Dave Sanders) yelling out the grooves to all the young drummers. There's something so vibrant about brass and snares. It gets my insides!

Overall a time of good food, lack of sleep and lots of music.
See you next year Bello.
