Oh good, Sandra. I have been thinking of starting a thread about this. I'll be spending a lot of time around the late-night singing sessions, too.

Just in case there are any 'Catters visiting from places further away, the National Folk Festival is an excellent festival held in Canberra, about four hours drive from Sydney, over the Easter period. It is large and colourful in terms of what is offered in entertainment, sessions, street theatre, stalls and camping, yet compact in size and very well organised - one of the best festivals in Australia IMO.

The very next weekend is another of my favourite festivals - smaller but very friendly - St Albans. A lot of us will be at that too. Alison is an organiser of this festival.
