The micro-festival saw Wagga musicians entertaining crowds at locations including Cave BBQ, Kidsons Cycles, Thirsty Crow, Knights Meats, Romano's Hotel, Thaigga and Cafe Sonder.

Manager of Community Services, Madeleine Scully, said there are no plans currently for a Fitz Live event in 2019.

"Fitz Live was funded through a "Live and Local" grant from CreateNSW and the Live Music Office," she said.

"It was intended as a pilot project to expose live music to venues that traditionally do not support live music, whilst building capacity with local businesses through best practice models.

"The project connected 12 local businesses with local musicians playing original live music, and council is pleased that Fitz Live resulted in some of these businesses developing continuing partnerships with local musicians."

Ms Scully said opportunities to present another Fitz Live type event can always be considered in the future but are funding dependent.

"The Plug and Play program, Lost Lanes micro-festival and the Wagga Comedy Fest are three examples of Council's ongoing commitment to supporting and developing local artists and the live music and entertainment scene in the City," she said.

Phoebe Pinnock was one of the Wagga musicians to perform at the 2018 event.

"It was wonderful last year and it was packed out," she said.

"It would be great to see Fitz Live continued."

Ms Pinnock said live music is incredibly important and Wagga is missing out.

"I cherish all the time we visited live bands and it was a huge part of my younger years," she said.

"I developed lifelong friendships.

"It is the pinnacle of being able to freely express ourselves in society."

Ms Pinnock said at the end of the day, there is a need for funding to ensure that any event, Fitz Live or otherwise, is economically viable.

"Fitz Live as a community and annual event would be worth whatever funding was put into it as it was such a success," she said.

"It is needed for the cultural development of young, original artists and can bring hope to aspiring musicians."

"I hope governing bodies can see the benefit of investing in the live music scene in regional NSW."

Ms Scully said she encourages all residents to contribute their thoughts on how they can better serve you, and meet the Arts and Culture needs of a growing city.
