The festival, which ran from Friday to Sunday, featured performances in a number of locations from Club Dubbo to St Andrew's Church.

Member of Moochers Inc Rafe Morris said it was his first time performing in Dubbo and the first time being in Dubbo for most of the band.

"Our band doesn't take itself very seriously at all, we're not the most talented but we have a lot of fun," he said.

"Numbers were good, we had good crowds.

"They were responsive and engaged and looked like they were having a good time."

Mr Morris said he had a fun weekend and enjoyed meeting other musicians.

Festival administrator Karina McLachlain said attracting younger bands like Moochers Inc was one of the goal's of the 2014 Festival to encourage a younger demographic.

"This year's line up has been one of the best line ups we've had in four or five years," Ms McLachlain said.

She said the new direction for the festival was well received and she had heard "surprisingly good" feedback from the audiences.
