Goodnight, Mudfest

The Mudclub sent Mudfest off with a HUGE bang on Saturday night with a special appearance from Melbourne Fringe Festival’s own Beau McCafferty, a lot of dancing, and a swag of awards for Mudfest’s very talented artists. Congratulations to everyone involved in Mudfest, from artists to volunteers, friends of the bar to Mums, Dads and loved ones who popped by for support.

It was a highly successful festival, and the beginning of something new: an age of student-driven creative initiatives at the University of Melbourne. Chookas!
