SUMMARY:Grace Petrie (UK) and The Maes
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLATION\n\nWe regret to advise that the special Festival performance bringing Grace Petrie together with The Maes sadly can no longer go ahead. \nGrace Petrie’s larger Australian tour has also been cancelled and will now take place in 2027.  \nAll ticket holders will receive an automatic refund via Ferve to their original payment method. Please allow several business days for processing.\n\n \n\nTwo beloved acts of the contemporary folk scene share the stage for an unforgettable evening of harmony\, storytelling and spirit. Grace Petrie\, the British singer-songwriter known for her wit\, warmth and protest songs\, will be joined by the Australian sister duo The Maes — celebrated for their luminous harmonies and emotionally rich songwriting. Grace first saw The Maes perform at Woodford Folk Festival in 2023 and invited them to join her on her 2025 UK tour\, forging a friendship and musical connection that comes together in this special Festival concert. Together they craft an evening that moves effortlessly from the political to the deeply personal. Expect songs that comfort and confront in equal measure — tender ballads\, fiery anthems\, and the unguarded humour that defines both artists. For folk lovers and first-timers alike\, this double headline show is a celebration of resilience and heart — proof that music\, at its core\, is still about connection.

SUMMARY:Grass with Live Accompaniment by Zöj
DESCRIPTION:Iranian-Australian duo ZÖJ — composer and kamancheh player Gelareh Pour and drummer Brian O’Dwyer — present a breathtaking live score to Grass\, the 1925 silent film chronicling the nomadic Bakhtiari tribe’s epic migration through the mountains of Iran. Through ZÖJ’s haunting instrumentation\, the film’s black-and-white imagery is reborn with new intensity. Pour’s kamancheh weaves melodies of longing and endurance\, while O’Dwyer’s percussion evokes the earth itself — trudging footsteps\, rushing rivers\, the heartbeat of survival. This is not mere accompaniment but re-interpretation: a contemporary conversation between image\, sound and heritage. Grass becomes a reflection on movement\, displacement and the fragile relationship between people and land — resonating deeply with global stories of today. Presented in partnership with CDoc\, this performance offers both historical rediscovery and present-tense urgency — proof that music can breathe new energy into archives of endurance.

SUMMARY:Man Out Of Time
DESCRIPTION:Few voices cut as deep into Australian rock as Broderick Smith’s — storyteller\, rebel\, poet\, and heart of The Dingoes. Man Out of Time: The Broderick Smith Songbook gathers his closest collaborators and admirers to reinterpret his catalogue with reverence and raw energy. \nAcross two stirring sets\, musicians revisit songs that shaped generations — “Boy on the Run”\, “Shine A Light”\, “Ruby In The Snow” — weaving anecdotes and archival reflections through the performance. The evening honours both the power and fragility of an artist who gave everything to the stage. This isn’t nostalgia; it’s renewal. \nEach performer brings their own voice to Brod’s stories of outlaws\, dreamers and the stubborn hope that defines regional life. Expect grit\, humour and tenderness in equal measure — a reminder that music\, like memory\, never really fades. \nLineup: \n\nBrett Garsed – guitar\nFreya Josephine Hollick – vocals/guitar\nIan Collard – vocals/harp/guitar\nKevin Bennett – vocals/guitar\nLisa Miller – vocals\nRichard Tankard – keyboards/vocals\nJeremy Alsop – bass\nTony Floyd – drums\n\nCreative Team: \n\nDoug Falconer – Creative Director\nLinda Sproul – Producer\nNigel MacLean – Music Director/guest violin\nRobyn Lewis – Producer
