Welcome to the Frances Folk Gathering!
Well, it's over for another year! What a party! Believe it or not... we've already started planning the 2010 event! The dates will be February 26th, 27th and 28th, 2010.
Our tenth birthday was fun right from the start - more folk than we've ever seen on a Friday night before.
Those who have been to the Frances Folk Gathering before will already have a good idea of what it's all about. For those of you who haven't, browse around in our site and discover the fun and camaraderie that infects this part of Australia in late February every year.
Discover how the tiny village of Frances in South Australia's South East opens its hearts to visiting folkies from all parts of South Australia, Victoria and beyond, for a fun-filled weekend of music, merriment, dance, competitions, concerts, workshops and much, much more.
2009 Program
Guests for the weekend included Dave de Hugard, Celtaclysmic, Martin Pearson and of course the ubiquitous multi-talented Andrew Clermont along with Hugh and Janet Gordon, John Francis, Paul Wookey, Paddy Montgomery, Matsumoto Montz... and a raft of others.
The competitions were an outstanding success, trying out the new format (with the bell) for the first time. Find the winners and placegetters inside on the competitions page.
We're currently putting together the photos that were taken by various people. If you have any that you'd like us to consider for publication, visit the Gallery page to see how to send them to us.
As always, these festivals and gatherings can't happen without support from sponsors, so please support them wherever you come across them.
