The Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours produced by Woodfordia Inc in partnership with major festivals and local communities across regional Australia. It takes the best folk and contemporary acoustic artists performing at two large festivals, and sends them on the road to tiny halls all over Australia. It’s an opportunity for music-lovers from welcoming communities to invite artists from
Home and Abroad into their towns, and a way of exploring this vast country in the spirit of hospitality and great fun. The artist line-up for Small Halls will always be at least one Australian artist and one International touring artist, who play music of exceptional quality and heart. They’ve been chosen for the tour not only because of their beautiful songs or tunes, but because they connect with the people they play for, whether through storytelling, the ability to tell a good joke (or a truly terrible one), their wonderful warmth and their real interest in visiting places a little off the beaten track. Each night of the tour is hosted by the local community, so it’s also a chance for a town to show off their warmest welcome and most enthusiastic audiences. From the farmlands to the flood lands, the rainforests to the outback, Festival of Small Halls audiences can expect a beautiful night of original music, as well as a chance to catch up with their families and friends during a supper break over cake and tea. It’s an all-ages event and all are welcome. Click on the artist link to find out if we’re coming to a town near you – and if we’re not, please extend the invitation. We’d love to come visit.
