After many years of trying, finally made it to
Woodfordia, even if only for the day.
Essentially a folk based music festival, it reminded me of a bigger version of the
Channon Market with lots of added music tents, musicians and performers!
Over 6 days, thousands of people laughed, danced and sang inspired by thousands of performing artists representing a huge diversity of nationalities and cultures. It rocked...well in a folky, worldy kinda way!
Loved, loved, loved
Invisible Friend,
Tripod made me laugh,
Tinpan Orange mesmerised as per usual,
Asanti Dance Theatre amazed,
Oka was great for a boogie and
Emma Dean was a new discovery!
 |
| lots of signage to make you giggle |
 |
| signs telling people to slow down and go slow featured regularly |
 |
| even the loos were decorated...lots of our local talent represented at Woodford |
 |
| more curiosities |
 |
| and curious people |
 |
| in the hall of mirrors |
 |
| these little creations evolved throughout the day at each intersection |
 |
| all in Native American Indian dancing...Anishinabek 'Northern Lights' Troupe |
 |
| the Asanti Dance Theatre...amazing drumming and dancing |
 |
| the stripped back Jesca Hoop |
 |
| Xavier Rudd was a huge hit with the crew I was with |
 |
| he certainly makes a lot of noise for one dude! |
 |
| his son was on stage for the whole set and didn't stop dancing once...he would give the duracell bunny a run for his money! |
 |
Jyllie Jackson did us proud with her lanterneers for the Peace Procession held each night
