It was hard getting back into the groove of regular day-to-day affairs after “The Dreaming” festival. For a few days, the Woodford Folk Federation grounds were once again like a world existing on its own.

Been back from Woodford for some time now. It turned out to be a rather wet year. Plenty of water dumped on the coast by the remains of two cyclones.

Decided to stay on for a few days and help restore order to the festival precinct. It also gave me a chance to enjoy the delightful company of the witty and talented musician & journalist Tom Valsberg. Together we spent a few days cleaning up the site. It provided us with a different perspective of the festival (where’s all the people/the venues & what’s this mess we’re in?).

I am currently on a job at Woodford Folk Festival. The first two days were very wet: a constant rain turned much of the festival site (including camp sites) into a bit of mudfest. Today the weather has improved and we’re enjoying the sun. The weather however has not deterred people from having a whole lot of fun. More to follow soon.
