HOMEBAKE 2009 - The Fifteenth Anniversary is Over!
As was once famously quoted by John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) - 'there should be no difference between who is on stage & who is in the audience' and as such becoming a catalyst for the ideology behind the inception of Australia's most famous antipodean festival event, now known as Homebake Music & Arts Festival.
And so Ladies & Gentlemen, with such a profound introduction, once again comes that time of the year where we at Homebake HQ bid fare well to yet another 'episode in the life' of Australia's iconic Homebake Music, Film & Arts festival. As you all know, it was our fifteenth anniversary and for those of you that managed to join in the celebrations, we certainly hope you all did have an amazing time as we do take some pride in the fact that Homebake 2009 did rate as one of the finest staged to date. Devoted to honouring the success of many of those contemporary (& not so contemporary) artists of our entertainment industry, Homebake 2009 was an endearing mix of audio and visual multimedia, combined with exceptional artist performances, fashion, short film…and of course all the usual fun of the fare including markets, food, rides etc etc. The weather gods were kind; the patrons friendly; the Domain in central Sydney City being a spectacular setting for a very special day – what more could we ask for!
In amongst the celebratory exclamations, we also extend massive and eternal thanks to all those who attended and did support Homebake. Let it be known, acknowledged
and realized that your support of this humble event contributes greatly to the international recognition of many of our finest up and coming and established stars!
And so, 15 anniversaries pass us by as we now commence planning for the next Homebake - and we do hope to be back bigger, better and more spectacular than ever.
We ask you to stay tuned as we countdown to that fine day next December when once again, that iconic venue known as The Domain, will host Australia's most famous
'locals only' festival, Homebake 2010!
Before we sign off, you all may have witnessed (or even taken part in) the
incredible 'flashmob' dance routines that did take place in and around the major stages at Homebake. For those of you that missed, the YouTube footage of this event has
been circulating around the world and you can check it out right here (to the left of the screen). In the meantime, please continue your research & support of Homebake, its featured artists, films and designers; and most important, the charities and causes we continue to support with each and every Homebake and please stay tuned for updates and make sure to continually visit the websites at http://www.homebake.com & join our official Homebake Festival page at Facebook here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24581631503
