Absolutely blown away to be named ARTISTS OF THE YEAR (Duo/Group/Ensemble) at last week’s Australian Folk Music Awards!
Congratulations to ALL the finalists and felicitations to winners cloudstreet, Bill Jackson Music, Ruth Hazleton, Khristian Mizzi, Charm of Finches, Sadie Mustoe, Nicole Murray - ‘Nicole’s Anywhere Choir’, David De Santi and The BordererS! The overwhelming atmosphere was one of celebration; of community and connection, collaboration and camaraderie. The spirit of Folk Music is alive and well! Endless, heartfelt thanks to Keith and the Folk Alliance Australia team and judges for all their hard work organising the awards and presentation evening, and to the wonderful hosts and performers who made it so special!
On a personal note, boundless thanks to our engineers Ryan Freeland, Roger Bergodaz and Adam Dempsey, musicians David Piltch, Luke Moller, Nick Charles and James Church and publicists Stuart Coupe and Red Rebel Music (Kaz Waters). We're so grateful for all you do!
We can't wait to see everyone back out on the road or at a Folk Festival soon!
