Newtown Festival Focus: Left.

Answered by: Sarah Corry - singer

Presumably you've been to the Newtown Festival before, what's your favourite memory? Hoola hooping at the hub circa 2008.

Lots of suburbs put on festivals, but Newtown Festival is always particularly huge - why do you think that is? Everyone loves Newtown because the community's pride and positive vibe is all around when they visit. We support each other and people want to be a part of that.

Favourite spot at the festival to chill and watch the world go by? Definitely top of the hill during the main sets of the day.

What would be your entry into the dog show? My best friend's greyhound, Ham. He is MAJESTIC. There is actually a large number of greyhounds around Newtown. Prancing around Newtown and staring into the distance like war heroes :(

The festival's theme this year is "Home Is Where The Heart Is" - where do you feel most at home in Newtown and why? In my home! Also, at the Enmore Theatre for a gig or at sunset in the park with mates. Alternatively, at one of the terrace houses on King overlooking the fray.

The musical line-up this year is all from inner west artists. What is it about the inner west that inspires so much creativity? Openness, acceptance and celebration of diversity and creative expression. Artists in the inner west support each other in a huge way!

Of all the food stalls on offer at the Festival, what do you reckon is one we should definitely check out and why? Lat Dior!!!! Delicious African food that is essential eating on Enmore Road.

When and where are you performing on the day? We're on the main stage at 1.45pm! Can't WAIT!
