Kiama’s Folk By The Sea music festival is back for the first time in three years, with a line-up including some of Australia’s leading folk performers announced for the two-day festival at the Kiama Pavilion in NSW on September 23-24.
Illawarra Folk Club Artistic Director David De Santi said the club was delighted to be able to stage the festival in 2022, after the 2020 and 2021 events were called off due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
This year’s line-up of more than twenty acts features Indigenous performer Shellie Morris from Queensland, singer-songwriter Judy Small from Victoria, folk-bluegrass band The Button Collective, Victoria Celtic band Saoirse, Tasmanian singer Daniel J Townsend, Sydney’s tango-folk band Chutney, the Redfern Shanty Club and local Kiama favourites The Water Runners and Penny Hartgerink.
