What are you most looking forward to about the Darebin Music Feast, and why?
Seeing Darebin light up with the colour of its local musicians and artists all coming together to celebrate the place, the people and how the community and Melbourne as a whole comes together to support music and the arts ..and yep playing to my home town.
In recent years, the affordability belt has moved from Fitzroy through to Northcote and Thornbury, and is now through Preston and Reservoir. Will musicians, and music venues, follow that affordability belt?
Yes some musicians and artists will move on and the ones that can afford it will stay and the beauty of it all is that the other people that can afford and that choose to live in the area, well they moved there because they love music and the arts so you’d expect that they will continue to support the local venues because we all need paying punters! So this concept is creating more opportunity for artists and venues and a better Melbourne. Fitzroy’s venues are still going strong and the same can be said for any music capital of the world.
