There’s so much more than just great music during the festival weekend! Be sure to look back here for more information about festival workshops and dance. 
Festival Workshops 

 

A great program of participatory workshops are scheduled throughout the weekend, teaching a range of skills and instruments. There will also be kids music workshops running each morning. We are very lucky to have skilled instrument makers Mac Traynham & Shay Garriock, who will be leading master classes in fiddle and banjo construction.

 

Festival Dance

An extra special finale dance event will wrap up the festival on Sunday, November 05 - this will be an all welcome, all in dance marathon; beginning with a Quebecois dance lesson with David Boulanger & Simon Marion, this will be followed by a contradanse, then a square dance with Mac Traynham & Shay Garriock and will end with a big Cajun and Zydeco dance. All the dances will have some basic instruction and everyone is encouraged to get on the dance floor and boogie out the end of the festival!

The Homebrew Verandah Singers are a bunch of blokes who enjoy getting together to share the pleasure and power of combining their male voices in song. From tender broken hearted love songs to Elizabethan drinking songs, Georgian rugby songs to gospel/liberation songs, Homebrew captures the raw energy of men singing in the shower or bellowing over the roar of a two stroke! The blokes of Homebrew sing about who we are and what our country represents…we sing about our identity, our social history, sing about a “fair go” ethos, but most of all we sing to celebrate life!
