Performing in 2021 - The Goodwills
The Goodwills (Bob and Laurel Wilson) – a couple and musical partnership for over three decades – now offer even more Goodwill, with the addition of Helen Rowe – well-known Brisbane singer and fiddler with a genuine folk pedigree. The trio focuses on Bob's original Aussie-flavoured story songs – some light, some dark, but always with a fresh perspective. These are conveyed through original melodies and fine three-part harmonies, along with Helen’s accomplished fiddle playing and Bob’s tasteful guitar and harmonica accompaniments, while Laurel sometimes plays ‘kazoobugle’ or percussion. They throw in the occasional cover and often invite the audience to become ‘the choir’.

Performing in 2021 - Pat and the Persons Once upon

Performing in 2021 - Pat and the Persons
Once upon a time there lived a quiet man called Pat. Strolling home one evening, minding his own business, he was accosted by some rambunctious Persons and press-ganged into a band. While Pat has never received a satisfactory answer to his plaintive query ‘What’s the vibe?’ Pat and the Persons have gone on to achieve great heights of silliness and soulfulness. Their repertoire ranges from trad to contemporary and embraces shanties, tunes, ballads and whimsies.

Performing in 2021 - Haystack Mountain Hermits
Haystack Mountain Hermits are all related (and have embarrassing photos to prove it), all multi-instrumentalists and all go.
Between them they play guitar, mandolin, double bass, accordion, washboard, ukulele, banjo, snare drum, harmonica, kazoo, xaphoon … and more! They’re known for their stunning big harmonies and fine musicianship as they interpret traditional songs and perform their own originals.
Catch the Haystack Mountain Hermits’ set. You’ll be glad you did. You'll laugh, you'll sing, you might even dance. But mostly, you’ll just wonder how they fit into one vehicle with all those instruments.

Performing in 2021 - The Rogues
We’re getting the band back together!
The Rogues rode the river-dancing celtic tiger wave on the North Queensland concert and festival circuit for years. It’s the band where Don first flew, Michele first fretted, Angela first fluted and Ryk first faffed. 2021 is their 30th anniversary, and they’ve barely aged. With special guest Rogues members, they reunite for a one off performance at Neurum Creek.
Well hell, why not?

Bring your songbooks from previous years - words also available on the morning. Hallelujah!

Performing in 2021 - Mister Chuck and Missy Chrissy
When they met, Mister Chuck was a “little bit country” and Missy Chrissy was “a whole lot rock ‘n roll”. Their collaboration began swapping guitar and harmonica riffs in the evening air.
Missy Chrissy plays up a bluesy storm on piano & harmonica, while Mister Chuck sets that 'get down delta tone' on resonator and acoustic guitars. Their long-standing love of all things blues, roots and gospel sees them delighting audiences with their own unique blend of originals and covers in these well-loved styles. Effortless finesse and soul....a class act.
