00:06Regional Music Festival Blues Fest may have been cancelled,
00:10but the tune still roared to life in regional New South Wales,
00:13with the Whalers turning an impromptu pub gig

00:26The reggae icons swapped their Byron Bay festival slot
00:29for a show at Hotel Brunswick,
00:30drawing hundreds who spilled into nearby streets and parklands.
00:34Fans climbed rooftops and packed out the town,
00:37creating an impromptu festival atmosphere
00:39despite the late cancellation.

00:49where smaller venues and pop-up gigs filled the gap,
00:52delivering a boost for local communities
00:54and proving the show, in true fashion, went on.
