Gulgong Folk Festival - A Special New Year's Eve Weekend Destination

27/9/2019

Thinking about New Year's Eve yet? Sydney Harbour Bridge fireworks? Nah, done that - plus it's too big, too crowded. Home with the family? Nah, no offence family, but that's just a bit too quiet. Time to do something different. Make this New Year's Eve truly memorable with a road trip into country Australia, with live folk music in intimate venues, and a weekend in a special Australian town rich with gold mining history.

Gulgong Folk
Festival
29th - 31st December, 2019
Gulgong, NSW

Featuring The Bushwackers
Australia's best-known, best-loved bush band, The Bushwackers, will head the bill at the Gulgong Folk Festival.

The Bushwackers play proudly Australian music, much of it based on the traditional folk and working songs from the early 20th century but have seamlessly incorporated celtic instrumentals and great contemporary original songs like Leave It In The Ground, Another trip To Bunnings, Dirt Under My Nails, Beneath The Southern Cross, Henry’s Men and the iconic I Am Australian.

Also appearing is Bethany Jolly, a fine singer-guitarist from Brunswick Heads and award-winning Luke Robinson, with a stunning bass voice, from Mullumbimby.

More artists to come!

Gulgong - A Town Rich In History

Walk the streets of this colonial goldmining town and discover beautiful heritage. In the Mudgee wine region of NSW, Gulgong is home to about 130 National Trust-listed buildings, as well as Australia’s oldest operating opera house. The Prince of Wales Opera House opened in 1871.

The great Australian writer and bush poet Henry Lawson spent his childhood in the area. You can discover more about his cultural legacy at the Henry Lawson Centre. Scenes of Lawson’s childhood years in gold towns such as Gulgong appeared on the first Australian $10 paper note.
