Folk club aids festival's success

I recently had a very enjoyable week camping at the St Albans folk festival.

I found it was only a two-hour scenic drive down through the beautiful Hawkesbury valleys.

We set our camp on the banks of the McDonald River surrounded by high sandstone ridges.

Everyone lit fires at night with timber supplied by organisers.

We played our guitars and sang.

St Albans, a heritage village 20 kilometres past Wiseman's Ferry, has 170 year old convict hotel and original old wooden homesteads.

I found a sea of laughing and smiling faces and the weather was perfect.

There were workshops, poets, stalls, music groups, children music and signers.

They were outstanding.

The Woy Woy folk club was actively involved in the festival's success.

After visiting this event, I have decided to re-equip my van for further folk festival events.
