Golden Whistler - Inspired by a shared love of connecting stories, people and places of times past to audiences today; Golden Whistler play enduring old time songs that are as enjoyable now as when they were first composed. They have performed at a number of festivals , venues in Sydney as well as being active participants at the Sydney Bluegrass and Traditional Country Music Association. Richard, a Guildford Banjo Jamboree banjo competition winner, also teaches clawhammer banjo.

The band members are:

Kate Barker (vocals & guitar)
Richard Galluzzi (vocals & clawhammer banjo)

And as the support act we have:

Southern Gentlemen are five friends from south of Sydney who take pleasure in performing a range of old-time, bluegrass, folk and gospel songs and tunes with their own acoustic instrumentation and four-part harmonies. They draw influences from a wide range of acoustic music from around the world including Richard Thompson, Paul Kelly, Gordon Lightfoot, The Country Gentlemen as well as traditional sources.

The band members are:

Bruce Fumini (banjo, dobro)
Jim Dempsey (guitar)
Ian Knight (mandolin, harmonica)
