Can't forget all the awesome Dj's and Bands and I'm sure that everyone that attended will back me in saying awesome show guy's you all made SONIC 2010 a weekend to remember - thanks to your team, thank you!!  Sincerely - Malcolm Fine - Events Producer/Coordinator Sonic Fantasy Productions Lismore.

Unfortunately the lack of patronage meant we did not cover our costs and I personally incurred a loss however not to worry, I have sufficient funds to cover this loss this year. The general vibe and feeling at the festival was awesome and I feel the general recipe is there for this much needed annual Lismore Music event. The SONIC team had a meeting and we all voted to do it again, so SONIC 2011 is in planning, I apologise for the lack of staff on the weekend however only 10 out of 64 confirmed volunteers showed up and this made the smooth running of the festival extremely difficult and placed all my managers (and the poor volunteers that showed up) under to much stress. I sincerely apologise for any problems you may have experienced on the weekend and I repeat please do not hold my volunteers or volunteer managers responsible for any problems incurred - if you have any questions or are interested in helping with our future plans please contact me - Malcolm Fine on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
