05.01.2022 We've been taking a trip down memory lane, digging into the archives and picking out pics of a few of the best Australian made shows at Sydney Festival in the last decade, from Paul Kelly to Meow Meow. We'd love to hear some of your memories of these performances. The gallery certainly isn't exhaustive, what are some of your favourites from the last decade?
