The National Folk Festival, Canberra.

An exciting sign for me to see. All so well organised. So glad we came.
Most people were in their best hippie clothes.
We know a few people who could have used this!
A hippie outfit???
Street acts are always interesting?!
Some good music.
A freezing morning but most festive.
An AMAZING group.. South African/Australian mix. Brilliant.
(Valanga Khoza)
Being mesmorised by Kate Fagan on the Budawang stage.
Had to meet her to let her know I first heard her sing about 15 years ago...was mesmorised by her singing in Fairbridge Chapel...was mesmorised yet again, only this time she played with an amazing band. Went to see her on 2 days.
A broomstick is normally my transport but this made a great bass.

Jordie Lane. Brilliant music.

This was the Recycled String Band who played some great folk blues. Excellent.  All their instruments were made from old pots, pans, hubcaps and other recyclables. It has inspired Chris to construct his own bass uke.
Some more great music.
A community music group...the way to go. Such fun....all ages....all types of instruments. We will have to try and find a community music group when we get back to Perth. I'll have to play the triangle!!
