NEXT ->        7:30pm Saturday 19th May 2012        <- NEXT

We're still on a high from the phenomenal success of the Northern Beaches Music Festival - amazingly even the weather cooperated! Thanks to all who came to enjoy it or perform. But our euphoria remains because we have some fantastic perfomances lined up at Fairlight Folk for May 19th, namely:

Bukhu, horse-head fiddle player and master overtone singer

World-class perfomer Bukhu from the Ulaanbaatar Conservatorium in Mongolia presents his haunting throat singing (overtone singing) accompanied by the Morin Khuur, a horse-head fiddle. His enchanting musical style and contemporary take on the Mongolian bardic tradition is a very special listening experience. Bukhu (Bukhchuluun Ganburged) has perfomed to acclaim around the globe and featured on ABC Radio. Don't pass up this unique perfomance!

Gilbert Whyte

Scottish songwriter who has drawn a performance style out of both traditional and contemporary folk and blues. Fingerpicking his way about Australia with a guitar in one hand and a banjo in the other, Gilbert is a relentless travelling musician. His rambling storytelling songs are earning him a reputation for musicianship and heartfelt performance wherever he goes. Come and judge for yourself at Fairlight Folk!

Rory Faithfield

Dublin-based yet Australian born and bred singer-songwriter with Celtic songlines in his head and grains of sand between his toes who divides his time between Dublin and his home in Vasse on the West Australian coast. Popular performer at festivals such as Port Fairy, Yungaburra, Maldon, Nannup, Tarerer & Lake Bolac. Now hear him at Fairlight Folk. Not to be missed!

Fairlight Folk Acoustic Lounge is the brainchild of a group of dedicated volunteers, musicians and friends from Sydney’s northern beaches, united by a passion for great music. They set up Fairlight Folk to promote the vibrant musical culture that operates largely outside the mainstream music scene, and beyond the reach of the predictable formats of music radio. They wanted to share their passion with an audience that’s hungry for diverse and authentic music, delivered in an environment that’s warm, relaxed and inviting. And to do it all at an affordable price.

Fairlight Folk offers consistently high quality music ranging from Celtic and traditional folk to blues to world to a capella to soul, and showcases bands and singer-songwriters – both established and emerging acts. The unifying theme is that the music is mostly acoustic (but not exclusively so), suited to delivery in an intimate and relaxed environment.

Held every three months at the William St Studios (see our map) at 3 William St, Fairlight (the old Baptist Church just down from Sydney Rd). Fairlight Folk is usually held on a Saturday night starting 7:30 pm every February, May, August and November.
