Asylum TV is running a feature program on the Sunbury BackRoad Music Festival. Asylum have compiled some historical footage, interviews, background information and insights into what will make this festival that bit different.
Friday 15 Jan 2010 was a momentous day with many of the bands performing at the Sunbury BackRoad Festival making it out to the farm. The clock was still before 8am and the crew from Asylum TV had arrived at shearing shed for a bacon sandwich and hot coffee.
The Sunbury Art Society has found the opportunity to hold an exhibition in a working shearing shed too good an offer to turn down.
A plaque honouring music great Billy Thorpe was installed late 2007 at the end of Duncans Lane in the Holden Flaura Reserve which falls in Hume shire, but its unveiling passed with little fanfare.
Few residents and even fewer music fans are aware of its existence.
The Sunbury Divas have knocked the competition over and secured the prestigious position of opening the Sunbury BackRoad Festival on April 10. With a huge repertoire and bubbling with enthusiasm they will set the tone for the remainder of the festival.
Caitlin, or Fairy Caitlin as she is better known has joined the BackRoad Music Festival in the children’s tent. Caitlin and her band of merry guys & gal’s bring their own world of entertainment to children from 5 to 12.
Sunbury BackRoad Festival has secured the services of Dome Security for the Festival. Dome has a great reputation with existing festivals including the annual Pyramid Rock Festival, Phillip Island held over the New Year period that has over 14,000 people attending and camping.
In a fantastic turn of events these bands will again perform at the one festival. Last seen together back in the 70’s these talented musicians will light up the night sky when they hit the stage at the Sunbury BackRoad festival.
