I spent 6 days in Canberra for our National Folk Festival where we presented 3 Saplings workshop & a 30-min concert spot.

My favourite among the participants were 2 beginners who had no instruments with them so played lagerphones & did an excellent job.

Nigel, I'll pass your comment to our organisers.

Another illustrated blog article is on it's way. I took 450 photos all weekend & 100 were of the saplings workshops.

The festival also runs traditional music workshops & Saplings were evident in some, including BMC's Waltz-a-thon of 40 or so waltzes!
