Folk head to Oz for December sun

Australia: 8 September 2006

The times may be a-changing but between December 27th and January 1st the Woodford Folk Festival enjoys its 12th year in its current location. The music encompasses a broad church of world, country, blues, roots, acoustic, jazz, reggae, pop and more. If you'd rather not rough it in the fields you can stay in a rented holiday home in Australia and pop back each day to enjoy the music and festival vibe.

Last year saw performances from locals The Old Spice Boys and Vince Jones to Americans Panjea and Peggy Seeger, and this year's festival promises over 2,000 artists celebrating the spirit of folk.
