Announcing the second artist line-up, Port Fairy Folk Festival Program Director Justin Rudge said that next year’s Folkie is shaping up to be one of the best yet.
“We’ve searched the globe to find the best musicians to perform at the 2023 Folkie and I’m proud to share this line-up which really celebrates world music.
“The Folkie is a place where songs and stories are shared and this announcement builds on that history, including extraordinary homegrown talent right through to the leaders of the folk music revolution. Our diverse program means there’s something for every music lover, right here in Port Fairy.”
