Apart from a few artists like Sreamfeeder, Hockey Dad and Cosmic Psychos, the line-up has been kept deliberately local. “Another reason for the festival is to try and expose as many local bands as we can,” says Footy. “Keeping it free gives people the opportunity to move between venues a lot easier, and it eliminates the excuse of people not being able to afford to go to a show.”

“I know it’s a tough time, and sometimes people can’t afford to go out and see a live band, so hopefully this gives people more of an opportunity to go out and see some.”

It's not just Footy's dedication to the cause that allows the event to be free. “Venues often waiver their costs, and we get a little bit of funding which helps pay the bands,” says Footy. “We’re just open with the bands, we say ‘we can only pay so much because it’s a free festival,’ and the bands are always understanding.”

While Clarity Records has a focus on hardcore punk (Footy's band Stolen Youth has helped shape the local scene since forming in 2000), the festival has been designed for all music tastes. “On our own [Clarity Records] label, we have a wide range of music outside of punk and hardcore,” says Footy. “And then rolling over into A Day of Clarity, we want to incorporate more than one style of music.”

“We want to attract people of all different music tastes, for people to go and see the music they enjoy, but also possibly discover different types of music they didn’t know they liked.”

The huge list of names on the poster suggest how much work goes into the festival, made even more impressive that it’s done by one individual. “There are definitely people that help out during the day, [like] bands that bring their own gear, or help with the promotional side of things,” says Footy. “[But] the organisation side of it… I do pretty much all of it myself.”

“This year’s I started booking in October 2016, so six months in advance. It feels like once I’ve finished one it’s almost time to start booking the next.”
