Newport Fiddle and Folk CLub @ Williamstown Festival

The Folk CLub has always been a supporter of the WIlliamstown Festival and this weekend they enjoyed lovely weather and had a very successful event. Gerry Nelson's band started off the music on Saturday on the Rotunda and later in the day the Newport Gypsy Djangos played a set. They were joined by Georgina Stewart (pictured) and also by Jules Hutcheson. The folk club was also a contributor to the last event of the festival - a concert at the Uniting Church. The Bush Orchestra, organised and managed by Kathryn Tomkins, played a couple of sets of tunes and even got the audience singing along to Waltzing Matilda - I suspect a first for such a solemn environment. Well done Kathryn!
