A FAMILY RUN FESTIVAL

TORTUGA has been created by husband and wife duo, Gordo Gamsby and Lucy Gamsby Frost of

Bare Maximum Pty Ltd

Gordo and Lucy have travelled the globe for 15 years performing and collaborating with some of the world’s largest arts events such as Burning Man USA, Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Fringe, Glastonbury Festival, the National Theatre in London and more.

In 2019 they settled back in Port Macquarie, Gordo’s home town, to start a family of their own. 3 years, 1 pandemic and 1 baby later they are ready to bring their brand of entertainment to Port Macquarie for the TORTUGA Festival.

TORTUGA takes place on Birpai Land and we would like to acknowledge the Birpai People as the traditional owners of this country. Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.

We can’t wait to meet you at Tortuga!

We would like to thank Port Macquarie Hastings Council, Arts Mid North Coast and Create NSW
