CeleBrate tHe worlD oF MusIC at the Folk rePuBlIC of BullI

It is with a great deal of pleasure and a more than a little bit of pride that we, at the Illawarra Folk Club, present our 26th annual festival.

Every year is different and 2011 is no exception - its a combination of the old and the new. Old in the sense that we are welcoming back old friends like Eric Bogle and Ted Egan who joined forces in 1988 and helped propel our fledgling festival into the major event it is today. New in the sense that a whole new crop of performers like Ami Williamsom, CJ Shaw, Get Folked, Shanachie and The Barons of Tang, to name just a few, are bursting on the scene and adding new dimensions to the ever evolving music forms that go under the umbrella of folk.

And what about the overseas artists we attract? Their numbers just keep growing and this year we have, among others, the 11 piece Orkestra Del Sol, who are out here for the Sydney Festival, Bettina Schelker from Switzerland, Chosani Afrique from Senegal , George Mann, Jim DVille and Sleepy Lou from the USA and Faye Blais from Canada.

Dont forget its a family affair and theres a complete program for kids that runs throughout the event and, the kids are free.

At the Illawarra Folk Club we are acutely aware that Time will take its toll on existing workers and performers and we see one of our roles as encouraging and training the young musicians and entertainers of the future. Our Music School, a tribute to its director Ann Lehman, is held on the two days preceding the festival is fulfilling such a role. You can see evidence of its success in the special youth concerts at the Festival.

Of course we are a not for profit organisation run entirely by our friendly volunteers to whom we say a monumental thank-you. I dont want to get too far into mentioning specific people however I would be remiss if I didnt pay tribute to Neil Rowsell, our festival Project Manager who has pulled the strings that have united all the parts of the organisation and Dave De Santi, our Artistic Director who has, for the 17th time ensured that our event is of the absolute highest quality.

Id also like to sincerely thank our former Secretary/Treasurer, Ros Shieldhouse, who for so many years anchored our finances, membership and was the first point of contact for many of our festival goers. Ros and her partner, Albert moved to Queensland to be closer to family a few months ago.

Thanks again to the sponsors and supporters who are featured on the back page of this programme. Particular thanks to Bluescope Steel our longest standing supporter who have stuck with us for many years, through thick and thin.

We believe The music didnt die as Don McLean asserted in his iconic song American Pie but is alive and well and living in festivals like ours.

But - to use an old folk saying: The proof of the pudding is in the eating. So while youre here, take a big bite of the music, poetry, dancing, feasting, sessioning , singing and relaxing and - Ill see you at the bar and the 2012 festival!

Happy FolkingBigrussPresident, Illawarra Folk Club

Orkestra Del Sol

2 26th Illawarra Folk FestIval 1316 January 2011

It is one of NSWs premier music festivals and is organised totally

by volunteers. This has been estimated at being over $900,000 in the past and continues to grow.

Many thanks are also due to our Gold sponsors BlueScope Steel, i98FM and the Illawarra Mercury and our other 62 Silver, Bronze supporters for believing in an event such as the folk festival.

A large debt is owed to all the previous and current Festival Organising Committees and the many thousands of volunteers and performers who over the past 25 festivals have ensured the Festival continues.

There is a great sense of achievement in presenting the Festival despite at times the many hours of work and personal sacrifices of family time.

Once again I thank the amazing tolerance and ongoing support of my terrific wife Tania and son Sam who continue to share our musical journey.

We trust all our efforts are appreciated and we value your ongoing support and constructive comment. We hope you continue to celebrate and enjoy the world of

folk music at the Folk Republic of Bulli.

So load up your guitars, blow your trumpets, bang your drum, shout your voice and squeeze your accordion - viva la folk revolution!

David De SantiArtistic Director

vIva la rePuBlIC!Early in 2009 I took a decision to step-back and reduce the pressure of having to direct the whole festival within a volunteer capacity and the demands of working, music making and family life.

I have continued in the role of Artistic Director and handed many of the other organising duties to a core from the Festival Organising Committee Russell Hannah, Neil Rowsell, Theresa Gregory, Graeme Morrison, Bob Williams, Rod Cork, Peter ONeill, Bruce Jackson, Robyn Jackson, Terry Cole and Ros Shieldhouse. Many others have also stepped up as well to take more leading roles to make my life easier. You will see their names in the Volunteer acknowledgement in this program.

It continues to be a privilege to be involved in presenting a truly unique and multi-award winning celebration of Australias and the worlds folk culture and heritage in

the Illawarra. The move from Jamberoo to Bulli in 2006 was certainly exciting and challenging but now we are well established in the Northern Suburbs of Wollongong with much local support!

This festival weve had a few more sponsorship setbacks with the loss and reduction in support of some of our previous major sponsors and the lack of the Heritage Hotel as a venue again but weve taken the risk of putting on a bigger festival than 2010 with 150 amazing acts and over 600 performers.

The ongoing encouragement received from the Northern Suburbs community and Wollongong City Council has been most inspiring not to mention the very friendly and amenable folk at the Greyhound Racing Club and the Harness Racing Club who have

Messages

For a number of years Wollongong City Council has been proud to be a sponsor of the Illawarra Folk Festival. We welcome our community and visitors to this years event.

The 2009 festival program encompasses 250 concerts with 600 performers at 11 venues throughout the city, providing an opportunity for diverse musical experiences for all ages over a 4 days period.

Each year Wollongong City Council is proud to support a diverse range of citywide and local suburban based

events, all of which strengthen pride within our city and local neighbourhoods by increasing interest and participation in the cultural life of the city.

Id like to thank the large group of hard workers of the Illawarra Folk Festival who donate a large amount of their time to organise this event.

I encourage everyone to attend the wonderful festival performances and enjoy this, the 24th Illawarra Folk Festival.

David FarmerGeneral ManagerCity of Wollongong

trusted our vision for the Bulli Showground in folk festival mode!

Coming from a varied cultural background it has been great to see the harmony that such an event provides between peoples from all over the world which leads nicely into the declaration of the Folk Republic of Bulli!

When you enter the gates of the Bulli Showground, you enter a whole different world. One full of inspiration, vision, creativity, harmony and community. A utopia that one could only wish it could last forever!

The Festival continues to encourage and feature and nurture our young talent. It is important for them to be carrying on the tradition and for them to see our more experienced tradition bearers.

Over the years Festival has also been a fine ambassador for Australia to the many visitors that have discovered folk music and have wanted an insight into Australian culture, history and social celebrations.

It is also pleasing to see the Festival also contributes greatly to a number of local charities and organisations. At this festival the recipients of our support include SCARF, Greenacres, Bulli Primary School, Sandon Point Surf Club, Bulli Show Society and Bulli Uniting Church. Community partnerships began in earnest in 2001 with the major Guinness sponsorship and to date the festival would have provided over $80,000 back to the local community!

The Illawarra Folk Festival, now in its 26th year, does a wonderful job of supporting local artists and bringing the regions musical talent to life.

Furthermore it attracts large numbers of visitors to the region which is great for our local economy.

Call For CoMMunIty PartnersHIPs

The Illawarra Folk Festival is a community based event organised by volunteer musicians, dancers, poets, storytellers and culturally minded folk!

The event has grown tremendously from its humble beginnings in 1985 to become a major stage in the Australian Folk Calendar and has been visited by thousands of patrons and performers over its history.

Its future is dependent heavily on the goodwill

and ongoing support of volunteers, artists, other organisations, local, state and federal government and the business community.

The festival since 2001, beginning with the major Guinness sponsorship, has provided over $80,000 to a number of charities including SCARF, Leukaemia Foundation, Oxfam, Camp Quality, Shepherd Centre for the Deaf, Bulli Uniting Church East Timor Fund, St Johns Ambulance, Greenacres, Scouts groups, SES Branches, Rural Fire Service, Surf Life Saving and South Coast School for Children with Autism. Over the past 4 years in Bulli, through its Charity Bush Dances,

Festival Opening Concerts and donations from the Festival, we have provided over $10,000 in cash to the recipient charities.

We continue to seek further partnerships with community and charity organisations as well to bolster our volunteer ranks. There are financial and social benefits for these organisations to be involved. So, if you are interested in helping us keep this great festival alive then please contact us.

Buy your ticket on-line to save you money and time.

Buy your camping ticket online as well as these are only issued with Season Tickets.

If youre driving to the festival then follow the signs from the Princes Highway and get to the main entry gate.

If youre using public transport then walk up to the main entry gate and head for the Festival Office.

Make sure you get a full programme when you do the ticket/armband exchange. This is your map to the venues, performers and general information.

Once youve parked the car head for the Global Green or the bar, sit down, grab a refreshment and take a few minutes to study the programme.

There are 11 venues to choose from. You can either decide who you want to see and when or

Hitch-Hikers Guide to the FestivalThis may be your first folk festival, so heres some ideas about what to do!

just take pot luck! Having a highlighter pen is a good idea. Mark the events you want to catch.

However you may get waylaid by buskers, poets, parades, dancing, impromptu sessions....

Dont panic if you cant make up your mind! Chances are you wont know any of the acts. Just walk the site! Youll discover music youve never heard or youll end up dancing, reciting or just watching. If you dont like what you see move onto another venue.

If all this fails, head for the bar or the Global Green. Theres food and drink there to fill and refresh your soul. Hint: Have a chat with the bar staff - they usually know the acts and can give you a hand deciding on what to do.

Dont forget at some point to do some exercise and get up to the Grevillea Park for a concert or two. Its well worth enjoying the natural ambience of the venues there.

At the end of the day (night) and if youve still got energy then hang around the bar as the musicians will be up for a tune or two. Sometimes the best music is played spontaneously at these late sessions!

Remember to have fun, but be courteous to your fellow friends when leaving!

Green Folk Going For Zero

The Illawarra Folk Festival is committed to minimising waste and its impact on the environment including the recycling of food, plastics, glass and cardboard.

The aim is no waste to landfill.

This is a big task and requires attendees, campers, volunteers, stallholders and performers to work together.

There are 3 waste streams at the Festival. Each waste stream has an individual bin and is

identified by the colour of the bin lid.

We are always looking for Green Folk recycling volunteers. Please register as a volunteer from the Festival website.

Bet you i can stop gamBlingSaturday 10.15am, Show PavilionAn inveterate punter, a pokie player, and a parodyist; John Dengate would bet on anything.

After he finishes this concert hes working on one titled; Buy me a beer and Ill tell you how I gave up drinking.

tHe last BusHRangeR - music & dRamaSaturday 11.15am-12.15, Show PavilionJimmy Governor, an Aboriginal, was hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol at the age of 26 in 1901.

moRRis- a liFe witH Bells on - Film NSW Film Premiere!Saturday 4:45pm-6:30pm, Sunday 7:45pm-9:30pm - Show PavilionDescribed as This is Spinal Tap meets Calendar Girls, the film follows the fortunes of an avant-garde Morris team in their struggle to push the boundaries of the venerable, ancient dance. Moving from the beauty of the Cotswolds to the sprawl of LA, this mockumentary uncovers the politics and ultra-competitive core lurking beneath this seemingly innocent pub pastime of hanky-waving bearded men. The Black Joak Morris crew will be providing the warmup.

You can catch some of our artists such as Martin Pearson, Eric Bogle, John Dengate, Pete Denahy, Roger & John from WA, and Nick Rheinberger being seriously funny. They will send you away with a smile on your face that will get you through the day - at least until the bar opens.
