Woodford

The Woodford Folk Festival is a six-day-long jewel of an event. For the final days of every year since 1987, thousands upon thousands descend on a glorious tract of land between the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane Valley to suck in the luscious sounds of more than 2000 performers, soak up the sunshine and the perennial rain, and share the utopian peace and love that permeates the air, the people, the very mud beneath the stalls and gumboots.

Lucky, lucky me - I'm going again this year. I fell completely in love with the festival on my virgin visit this time last year, and in preparing for this year's six-day camping party, I've managed to score myself a media pass. Rest assured I will be scurrying about thrusting my Sony IC Recorder in any face I can distract for ten seconds. The Big Plan is an article, with pictures provided by the wonderful Chris Ahern, worthy of a Major Publication. And the blog, obvs!

Merry Christmas everyone. See you on the other side!
