WHEN managing director of the National Folk Festival, Helen Roben, catches up to brief the incoming director, Katie Noonan, she’ll have good news to report.
For “Good Folk”, the two-day concert series or “folk experience” held in Queanbeyan over Easter, achieved the joint purposes of entertaining a lot of people and signalling that the National Folk Festival is alive, well and not going away any time soon.
To be sure, there were a few grumbles from purists missing the experience at Exhibition Park in what was a scaled down event of 22 concerts, who asked why it couldn’t have been held in Canberra.
Chloe and Jason Roweth perform songs and poems by Henry Lawson at “Good Folk”.
