The Mullumbimby Ex-Services Club was buzzing with excitement last Sunday as musician Lou Bradley introduced her vision for the inaugural Mullum Roots Festival, set to take place in July 2025. The packed auditorium was a testament to the community’s eagerness for the return of a vibrant music festival to Mullumbimby.
With a rich background as an ARIA finalist and nine years at the helm of the Nimbin Roots Festival, Lou is poised to deliver a memorable event in Mullumbimby.
Lou recalled the 15 years she called Mullumbimby home, while raising her family, and shared her enthusiasm for creating a festival that celebrates original music and songwriting.
She announced that the initial lineup for the 2025 event will be revealed in October, promising an exciting array of talent. The audience was treated to a preview of the festival’s unique offerings, as Lou performed a selection of humorous ‘hillbilly’ songs, accompanied by talented musicians Phil Chaffey and Rod Coe.
