From Clare Bowditch who performed at the inaugural event in 2016 'Sounds of Summer was a truly beautiful festival to highlight our summer with. We really had a great time. The festival was a perfect combination of professionally organized, but grass-roots/ community led. Yes, we were wonderfully taken care of but the festivals emphasis on caring for an entertaining the audiences (particularly families: there was a heap of great activities for everyone)  really made it stand apart. We had such a beautiful day and the community welcome was phenomenal".

From a patron at the festival 'A fantastic atmosphere! Beautiful local food and wines and a great mix of ages amongst the crowd. Brilliantly organised and executed…can't wait for Sounds Of Summer to be an annual event".
