Kate Delaney  – Kate has been a familiar face in Australian Folk Music for many years. She is best known for her partnership with her late husband Gordon Mc Intyre but was also a member of the Larrikins and the Rocky River Bush Band with whom she toured Australia and Europe respectively. She has been involved in radio, television, stage productions and a number of recordings both with Gordon and other Australian performers. Kate performs both traditional and contemporary songs and her way of singing has been described as immersing herself in a song and using it to guide her voice in a manner that expresses the lyrics as a painting might tell a story’ (David Mulhallen ABC radio)
Kate will be joined during the evening  by  Tony Pyrzakowski  of the famous Wheeze and Suck band, Hooper and O’Toole, & currently Pump and Pyro.

Rory Faithfield – Kicked out of singing class at age six and the school brass band at fourteen, Rory Faithfield’s artistry has always refused to stay in one place. Emerging from Sydney’s legendary post-punk scene, a one-way ticket to London sparked a decades-long international “walkabout”—a profound creative reinvention that eventually found its footing within his Irish ancestral homeland and the fertile Dublin music scene of the nineties.

Rory Faithfield is a storytelling folk singer-songwriter who embodies the folk lyricism of his Irish heritage and the roots of his early days in Sydney’s post-punk pub scene.

Australian music journalist Bruce Elder noted, “Faithfield inhabits the same rich musical world as Christy Moore, Luka Bloom and Glen Hansard. His songs are wistful, romantic, deeply felt, beautifully crafted and sung with a voice that pours sincerity and emotion over every line and note”.

Following eight years of creative incubation in Dublin, Rory returns in 2026 with the release of a solo acoustic version of his work-in-progress sixth album, Blue Shadows & Golden Light. The “Monochromatic Edition” is a precursor to a full-band version of the album, scheduled for release in 2027, recorded in Ireland and Australia.
