What was your favourite act at boosh?
It has to be Grassy Spark, their unique style and flow of music was really insane!
What did you think of this boosh?
Its different than the ones before this one, even though it rained and most people left because of the bad weather, the true music lovers stayed behind. In the end, good music beats shitty weather.
What was your favourite moment at boosh?
Favourite moment for me would be when Shortstraw played “Heaps Keen” that got the crowd going and also the drunken people where funny to look at.

What did you think of this boosh?
This Boosh was fun, but the previous one was a lot more fun and had a special aesthetic with it being in the pool.

My favourite moment was the entire event, having a whole bunch of mates at one location enjoying good tunes.

Grassy Spark.
What did you think of this boosh?
Boosh was cool and I think the acts were better, but I think they should move the venue back to the swimming pool.

My favourite moment was definitely when the lighting struck during the Grassy Spark set.

What was your favourite act at boosh?
This was definitely one of the strongest line-ups we’ve had, I must say that the nomads really brought it for me, and got the crowd bouncing in no time.
What did you think of this boosh?
This last Boosh was our biggest one yet. We had rain issues, and had to put everything on hold for the rain, but the look on everyone’s faces when they saw Grassy Spark setting up after the break was priceless.
How did Boosh start?
Boosh was born when one of our friends asked us to play at their birthday happening at Mamma’s Shabeen in Greenside. We asked some other bands to join us, and we had such a blast, we decided to keep on doing such an event once a month. Eventually Mamma’s became too small so we relocated to the Zoo Lake Bowls Club, and when that closed, we went to Marks Park.

Grassy Sparks.

Boosh was fantastic, just wish the weather played along.

The thunder during Grassy’s first song was pretty amazing.

Grassy Spark.
What did you think of this boosh?
Filthy banger, I shouldn’t drink so much on a Sunday (God is frowning down on me but YOLO)
What was your favourite moment at boosh?
Dancing in the light rain to Grassy Spark.
Jason Lume
Works as a freelance film editor, videographer and event MC.
What was your favourite act at boosh?
I don’t think I should pick a favourite just because I’m so close to the event. But what I will say is that I’m not jealous of the fans, they have a really hard decision ahead of them. The judges at Seed absolutely hit the nail on the head when picking bands this year. Whoever wins, they most definitely deserve it.
What did you think of this boosh?
Boosh this time round was great. The fields were packed and the beer flowed without interruption. With the help of Seed Experiences this Boosh had one of the strongest line-ups we’ve had in quite some time.
What was your favourite moment at boosh?
My top moment from Boosh was watching Smooth Mike join in with Grassy Spark, as they did a cover of PH fat. It was always a great cover, but having the OG there just made it that much more gangsta.
