Mike Arnold (of Hardcore Troubadour fame) provided some insight into the festival he has founded together with Fred McNeil.

As a music lover and after attending a few festivals Mike got some ideas of how he’d like to do things and he wanted to provide something new for the area. Fred McNeil from Durham Bridge shares Mike’s love for music & the outdoors and he owns a 27 acre field! Since partnering they have been surprised by the involvement and help they’ve received from the local community – everything from heavy machinery, a stage frame, carpentry, advertising, and overall general support. They’ve learned that they could NOT do this without everyone involved!

Their formula for establishing a great music festival
= (tons of work X 2) + (multi-tasking X 3)
The stage is almost ready!

“this is what I consider MY dream vacation. We hope everyone will feel that way when they’re here”
