Be a hippy for a week...

The Woodford Folk Festival lineup was released today. With so many new year festivals etc, it's always fairly difficult to net anyone of mainstream note to play, especially in the latter part of the week. It's front loaded as usual, but great nonetheless. The high points being:

Sarah Blasko, the Go Set, Sarah Blasko, Angus and Julia Stone, The Cat Empire, Doch, That1Guy,The Waifs.

It's been so so so so long since I've seen the Cat Empire. My first ever concert/gig experience was when they played the first night of Woodford in the Big Top in 2003. It was about a month after Hello hit the charts and they were phenomenal. I've seen them 7 or 8 times. Sad but true.

No Lior. Or Kate Miller-Heidke. This disappoints me a little. But I think they're in one of the major lineups, no?

Also New Years is a little empty. Which is ok, because nothing would really match up to Wolfmother covering The Who at midnight in Lorne last(this?) year.
