Presumably you’ve been to the Newtown Festival before, what’s your favourite memory? Performing there a couple years ago was a great experience.

Lots of suburbs put on festivals, but Newtown Festival is always particularly huge - why do you think that is? Good location, willing neighbours, much community spirit.

Favourite spot at the festival to chill and watch the world go by? Smoking area.

What would be your entry into the dog show? One-quarter Staffy, one-quarter Great Dane, one-quarter bullmastiff, one-quarter shar pei, one hundred percent maddawg. Her name is Sparrow.

This year's musical line-up is entirely from the Inner West - what is it about the area that inspires so much creativity? Not sure, but Westside 4 lyfe.

What's your go-to food stall at the festival and why? I haven't eaten at the festival before.

Will you extend your Newtown Festival celebrations into the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre Festival Series in the weeks leading up to the big day? Probably not, I'm quite busy with work during that period.

When and where are you performing on the day? Federation Stage, 2.30pm.
