"Andi was a driving force from the beginning, forging strategic partnerships with venues, artists, and community stakeholders, to shaping the festival’s distinctive creative vision."Andi’s expertise in marketing and brand development gave the project its authentic identity, while his hands-on approach to delivery ensured that ambition was always matched by execution.""Sonic Boom evolved from a promising concept into a regionally significant, nationally recognised cultural event that fundamentally changed Burton’s cultural landscape. The festival has drawn thousands of visitors, generated a thriving new music scene and sparked a genuine sense of pride among Burton residents."
