Fairbridge Wrap Up Part 2
I saw about 25 different acts over the two days and three nights and I have 19 names here on my list that I want to tell you about. Obviously I can’t tell you heaps about all of them because otherwise I would be here for about 6 years. I will go into detail about 8 of my tops picks, and I’ll briefly mention the rest. Okay? Good. Let’s do this!
Fairbridge Wrap Up Part 1
I often like to say that Fairbridge is one of the only festivals where you can ask the audience to sing, and they do it in tune- with harmonies as well if you ask nicely. I have never experienced anything like the community of people that is this festival. Everyone you meet is kind, interesting and a true music lover.
Kaki King - 'Glow'
Kaki has done an amazing job and has come a long way from her first album 'Everybody Loves You'. This new album just speaks to you and is honestly one of the best instrumental albums I've heard in a long time. What's great about King is that she really appeals to everyone...
Jonny Taylor - 'Something To Say'

There were so many other bands I could have mentioned but these to me were the stand outs, the ones that made me want to dance and sing, and made me feel happy to be at Fairbridge.
Folkworld Fairbridge Festival Wrap Up 2013 - Part 1
There’s something about thousands of people who love music and a good time crammed into a tiny eco-village near where I used to grow up that just speaks to the inner hippie in everyone.
