Kenneth Dryland was the director of the inaugural Festival of Mosman in 1981 and continued to direct this major event until 1997.
Diane Wachman was also an active and integral member of the Festival of Mosman committee during this period.
Together they relive the early years of the Festival and how it brought the Mosman community together and put Mosman on the map for arts, entertainment and shopping!
