This festival has definite potential to become a yearly celebration and part of the fabric of Wollongong.

Loose Change have an album of appeal and enjoyment on their hands with special attention paid to the near-perfect production.

Perfectly crafted song selections and the fierce energy of young kids turning up with their parents and diving into the mosh gave this show the edge and nudged Horrorshow a step closer to world domination.

A fitting send-off for a trio of rapscallions, the Yours And Owls farewell was an unforgettable night where Wollongong felt like a family, saw a little too much Unicorn and showed off some of its best bits.

A Spark In The Dark provides more than what meets the eye. Give it the deserved twice over because the stories are rich and the composition is considered and full.
