  • 'We had the absolute delight of partnering with Hey Mate earlier this year to bring their ground-breaking LEWP to Torch Fest in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Working with Aimee and the team was an absolute dream and knowing that our artists, and attendees, were supported whilst at the festival was honestly so important to us. LEWP should be a feature at every festival in future and we're so pleased to have been able to have them do such important work alongside us. Cannot recommend more highly'
