Wow, what an amazing couple of weeks. The Mt Beauty festival was fantastic -- beautiful weather, great venues and great audiences. Then myself and The Industrious Felons headed up to play the Wintermoon Festival, in Cameron's Pocket about an hour from Mackay. What a stunning festival! I had heard so much about Wintermoon over the years from musician friends, so I was really happy to be on the bill. Everything I heard was true. We had an incredible time. Flawless weather, wonderful organisers and volunteers, enthusiastic audiences, great camaraderie between performers. All in all, two of the best festival experiences we have ever had. Cheers....

Hey, I'm heading off tomorrow to play the Mt Beauty Music Festival, in northern Victoria, over the coming weekend 27-29 April. Mt Beauty is a beautuiful spot about 350k north-east of Melbourne. Rough Red played this festival back in 2003, and we have very fond memories of the place. I'll be joined by the Industrious Felons -- Dave Parnell and John Barr. The festival has a great line-up, including blues master Geoff Achison, and one of my favourite bands, Sal Kimber & The Rollin' Wheel. Look forward to catching up with some Victorian friends....cheers

Hi folks, I'm heading south tomorrow with ROUGH RED to play the National Folk Festival, held over the Easter long weekend in Canberra. The Reds have been busy rehearsing a new show, so we are looking forward to our three performances down there. For full details of the festival, check out www.folkfestival.org.au or www.roughred.com
