equipment and speakers to create a surround sound experience.

‘Performances’ will be given through the day to give 3D sound experiences.

Throughout the day, professionals will give small discussions and tutorials on creating superior sound.

‘Meet and Match’ StallThis stall is all about the creation of more local bands for us to listen to and enjoy. The Meet and Match stall will provide the opportunity for unsigned artists, or for artists without a band, to meet other artists and agents. The stall will provide interactive ways for people to meet one another and will allow for genres and styles of music to be paramount in the decision making process. By the end of the festival, it is hoped that around 30 new bands are created. While this number is high, the possibilities of meeting and matching bands are incredible in Newcastle.

Learn to play the Bongo DrumsWorking on the ideal that an informed, educated audience is an appreciative, music loving audience, this stall will assist people who might not be musically talented find a place in the music world. The stall will be run by local music teachers and will teach the basics of rhythm and beat. Hopefully, by the end of the three day music festival, more than 50 people will have attended the free stall. However, I expect numbers to be much higher.
