FOR East Fremantle muso Connor Minervini, performing in front of thousands at a home festival is a dream that is so close he can almost touch it.

Describing their sounds as a “melting pot of different genres that come together in a folk/rock setting”, he said performing at the hugely popular festival would be down to the public, with a website set up for them to choose the band they would most like to see live on stage.
“Playing Falls would be a really amazing badge to add onto the sleeves,” he said.
