Forde: Foreday needs more structured approach

One of the directors of Vida by Esquire, Senator Ryan Forde, is proposing a safer, more structured approach to Foreday Morning Jam, including the use of multiple venues, as concerns grow over private events being hosted alongside the national festival.

Speaking during Vida by Esquire band launch at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre recently, Forde told the Weekend Buzz the increasing size of Foreday bands and shifting patron preferences point to the need for change, particularly where safety and organisation are concerned.
