Port Fairy Folk Festival - March 2008

Oh what fun was had at the Port Fairy Folk Folk Festival!! (Check out the photos!). Once the nerves subsided (!) ERIN had 4 well-attended gigs at the festival and sold out of CDs at the in-house sales tent! We had a lot of fun, witnessing a wide range of amazing musicians and inspirations. Special mention - where to start?? Circle of Rhythm, Jake Shimabukuro, Collard Greens & Gravy, Elana James, The Chipolatas, Angie Hart, John Schumann, Hans Theessink, The Duhks and who could forget The Bushwackers on that Guinness-fuelled Sunday night?… It’s of course too hard to mention names; basically anywhere we stumbled, we discovered another piece of musical magic. And in the Green Room, some ERIN members rubbed shoulders with these fine artists themselves…

The weather was warm, the stages were warmer, the surf was perfect, the houseparents (Sandra and Trevor) were amazing (- thank you!!! and sorry about the nail polish…) And the crowd - the patrons - were spectacular!!

Finally, it wouldn’t have been half as much fun without those dedicated devotees who followed us all the way from Maitland - Thank you all so much! See you next year Port Fairy!
