Near the beginning of the 1st clip there's about 15 seconds of my daughter and me singing Tell It On The Mountain, and about 3 minutes into the second clip there's 30 seconds of my daughter's klezmer band, Di Khupe Heybners, playing a waltz. If the blue clickies don't work, you can try searching YouTube for Australian National Folk Festival and/or search for cyrces. |

Alex Hood, Dave de Hugard, Kate Delaney & a cast of thousands from Danny Watson's epic concert, Gerry & Sarah, Sarah & her band, buskers, & Morris dancers. Thanks for the links, Gerry, it's very good overview of the Festival. sandra |

Cheers, Quokka |

But kids & young adults are also thick on the ground at the festival, on stage and off. |
