Hi there North American Mudcatters!

Just a note to say that one of Australia's major Folk dignatories is heading for your continent!

He is : BILL HAURITZ, the CEO of the FANTABULOUS Woodford Folk Festival - held over 6+ days between Christmas-New Year, at Woodford in SE Queensland, Australia.

He is over there for a while on a Smithsonian Institute scholarship, so please make him welcome!

Cheers! R-J

My "PS" was going to be :

OK, so I KNOW that it's a big country!! I THINK he'll be MAINLY in the top half, rather than the South - does that help??!!!!

Cheers! R-J

Interesting that Deckman has started the thread on "Folk Festival problems" - I think that these are some of the issues that he'll be studying whilst "over the pond" ...
