Woodford Folk Festival

"Many of my most formative experiences as a songwriter and a person happened at the Woodford Folk Festival.  I am still a major fan of the festival.  I love being able to see comedy, circus stuff, debates, films, music in lots of different spaces over the course of a week.  It's a huge festival, yet very approachable.  There is a beautiful community atmosphere at Woodford that I haven't seen as much at other festivals" – Kate Miller Heidke.

Woodford Folk Festival is one of Australia's most iconic annual events; returning for its 28th year from– 27 December 2013 to 1 January 2014.
