00:00 We change the formula or the format from year to year but never, only around the same basic
00:12 things in which a festival always should have.
00:16 A street parade and a gospel service which is the integral part and guest artists and
00:27 we run the formula of mix and match which all the musicians come together, they register
00:34 and which doesn't cost them anything and we then formulate each bracket or set according
00:45 to who's available, put them together and the inexperienced can mix in with the experienced
00:51 and it benefits everyone.
00:53 During COVID we didn't have any mainland guest artists of course because we couldn't, they
00:58 were locked over there, especially in Victoria and we succeeded and we found more talent
01:07 in Tasmania than we'd ever realised I think.
01:10 So that's the way we've run it ever since.
