Mayor Tim Overall in festive mood at The Royal.
AS EPIC goes quiet this Easter weekend, downtown Queanbeyan will keep the spirit of the National Folk Festival alive through âGood Folkâ, two days of music-making.
At a launch held in the Royal Hotel this morning (January 29) Helen Roben, managing director of the Folk Festival, suggested that the coming event, âGood Folkâ, wouldnât really be a festival, but rather a program featuring 22 concerts.
But for his part, the Mayor of Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, Tim Overall, described the âfestival with a small fâ as âvery exciting, a great result for the local economy after the drought, fires, floods and covidâ. It was sad, he said, that elsewhere in the immediate region the popular Majors Creek Music Festival had been cancelled, and there had been unanimous support on council for a partnership with the festival.
