We sat down with local legend Moody Tiger Pants 🐅 for a chat and a cuppa at Good Bits in Gosford ☕️ to learn more about how her now-thriving DJ and music career got started at the first ever Gossy Weekender!

From volunteering in the morning to her first official DJ gig after the , Gossy Weekender certainly lucked out with Jane aka Moody Tiger Pants jumping on board to help us deliver a smashing debut festival in 2024! 🎉

Jane has also been part of CCMA’s Empowering Voices program and we are thrilled to see her go from strength to strength! Since launching her music career just 2 years, Moody Tiger Pants is in high demand! 🤩 Her journey is truly inspiring, especially to any mothers out there with dreams of DJing and producing their own music. This may be your sign to start! ✨

Stay tuned for exciting updates as we get closer to launching some big news and a stellar lineup for 2026 👀 🎉 🚧 🪩

Even The Good Bits Co. is getting involved! 🎶 🥐

Guess whose Pale Ale just made it to the top 6 finalists in The Beer Championships ? 🍻 👀

Big Little Brewing, one of our beloved venues for Gossy Weekender, is brewing some of the best beer in the country right here in Gosford! 🎉
