With Port Macquarie’s Festival of the Sun just passed, 2BOB now looks toward the annual Grow Your Own festival in Forster on December 22.

Now in its second year, Grow Your Own boasts a bigger and brighter growers market, more art installations and a thumping lineup of local and national artists that will especially appeal to 2BOB listeners.

Bands such as The Belligerents, Alex the Astronaut and Cloud Control, not to mention local acts The Ruiins, Los Scallywags and of course, festival organiser and Forster local Jack River have all featured in many playlists on 2BOB programs this year.

To provide listeners with a taste of what to expect from the festival, 2BOB presents a special Grow Your Own ‘primer’ show to air Friday night (December 15) from 8pm, replacing the Indie Nuggetts show.

Hosted by Chuck Nuggetts, the special will feature music from the artists performing and interviews with Central Coast band Little Quirks, Cloud Control and Jack River.
