Ian Papworth is a locally based guitarist singer/songwriter. Ian has played live for twenty five years in numerous acts such as The Crawling Kingsnakes, Blues Rumour, Twin Fin, The Paparazzi and Pap & That.
Having had lessons ad a child on piano and corner, it wasn't until he was given a guitar for his seventeenth birthday that he found his calling.
Influenced initially by acoustic artists such as Neil Young and James Taylor, the natural progression lead to electric guitar and influences like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Blues.
With a voice that has been described as warm caramel and more than adequate guitar skills, Ian has emerged as an artist to keep an eye out for.

Like a Jazz-crooning folk rocker at an Aussie BBQ, Tim Woodz makes up songs with interesting stories. His music is uplifting, clever and nostalgic which has landed him in the folk festival circuit since 2012 and touring with iconic performer Tex Perkins. Tim grew up in Gippsland Victoria, being inspired by his parents who’d perform in the local folk club. Tim started creating punk inspired folk songs or perhaps the other way around as teenager, which led him to write in a lyrically naive style and produced nostalgic and very clever songs about trees, possums, laundromats and everything in between. Along with some amazingly heartfelt songs for his daughter. Tim plays Acoustic Guitar, Banjo, Uke and Harmonica, with a style to make your feet tap, and your cheeks hurt from laughing.

UK festival favourites Dan and Emily bring to the stage a unique blend of English folk music fused

with country/Americana. An energising combination of distinctive warm and powerful vocals and

guitar interlaced with a dexterous meld of celtic- and country- style fiddling and beautiful harmonies

mesmerises a multi-genre audience.

Mitch Burgess has been referred to by some as being ‘in between' musical styles - delivering an energetic & upbeat performance with a flair for blues. He is a creative guitarist, keeping audiences entertained with innovative phrasing and expression.

Inspired by personal experiences and the people around him, he has recently launched his first EP, Trio. This new EP is the result of years spent experimenting on stage, and it defines Mitch's sound perfectly. 

David Flower is a folk n roots artist that totally engages the audience as he sings and plays his original songs with his own unique and quirky style. He has an amazing voice and a great storyteller, faithful to the acoustic guitar sound and plays harmonica and uke also. He is quite the accidental comedian, very to the point and unpredictable always surprising his audience with his word-smithery and has a beautiful natural flow that engages and keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering what is going to happen next. He's always on point with the current state of affairs and his spontaneous nature leaves you in awe, highly entertained and curious to find out more. David has earned his position in the Australian music scene and he has sold over 10,000 albums over 4 releases all proudly independent.

"David Flower is a master multi-instrumentalist with infectious energy. He transports you to another time and place with his contagious lyrics. It’s the funkiest folk boogie blues show you never saw coming—so delightfully rambunctious."
