Bonny Wythes & JamesVitnell
|
Dee jay Gosper and her band funked
out the afternoon with a great hot flush blues set leaving everyone
ripe for the night.

Red Juliet Liz Frencham & Myles White. All music festivals
have to have a story of presonal trauma some where. Myles, Fred
& Liz always had a tight schedule - Liz and Fred picking Myles
up off a plane on Saturday Morning from melbourne - after their
Newcastle Gig the night before. Well of course the plane was late,
they then got lost and arrived, as the act before them was taking
their gear off stage - straight on - no sound check and into it but
they pulled it off - amazing. Centre image courtesy Will Bennet
Session 3: Saturday October 8th 7:00 pm Night
Nerida Cuddy local singer/song writer and founder of folk at
Canowindra inspired us with her passion again - despite nearly
wrecking her bangjo. Thankfully Lindsay Martin from Winter Station
put it on the operating table and restored it to it's former glory
the next day.
Chris Gillespie led us into the evening with far fetched
tales about Cockatoos petitioning state governments and a brilliant
songatorial about a pub in Lawson - hey Chris taste Canowindra
wants one of those. Image on the left courtesy Will Bennet.

Fred Smith has been riding high on the great success of Dust of
Uruzgan, and with total disregard for the young ears in the
audience proceeded to sing profanities totally insulting to the
Dutch members of our audience about the behavior of Dutch soldiers
in portaloos. Fortunately most of young audience members were
asleep, and if there were any Dutch members in the audience they
took it all in their strides.

Valanga and Andrea Khoza and Ian Blake: After
leaving from Perth the Monday before, flying into Canberra on
Saturday morning from Melbourne, driving to Canowindra (not getting
lost as some did, no they didn't follow google maps from Canberra
to Richmond). We can genuinely claim that performers travelled from
4 states and Mongolia to perform at Womindra 2011. I musn't deceive
Ian only drove from Canberra.

As you'd expect the "everybody on stage for a
final blast saga" legend of the previous night had seeped into the
festival's aura so this lot weren't going to be out done. Hence the
Melbourne, Canberra, Blue Mountains & Canowindra World Music
Big Band closed out the evening.

Session 4: Sunday October 9th 2:30 pm Afternoon
The Hip Replacements
- not a lot more I can say really unless I start talking about
"The Flying Emus" and snowy afternoons in Milthorpe and with Gav
wearing that hat I'm just not game.
Reckon when they play stuff that hot I'm not so sure about the
name Winter Station - but hey it was great.
Session 5: Sunday October 9th 5 pm Twilight

I must apologise that not all acts got photographed - thing
about cooking food, trying to MC and take pictures too. Sorry I
missed a few. In most cases Will Bennet has filled the gaps. thanks
for a great festival.
