Yungaburra Folk Festival 09'
Our very grateful 2nd year in a row back at
Yungaburra Folk Festival was an awesome experience. Great sets, great
sound, great audiences, great atmosphere just a great festival.
We were buzy bees over the weekend with 4 sets and 2 workshops
but by the end of it we were wishing it was still going. A highlight
was our upbeat set in the blues showcase in the chapel were we have got
some great footage, check back soon for some youtube vids. After
the festival we did some exploring in the tablelands and deep north of
the sunshine state which was a nice break before heading back home.
2nd Tour Huge Succsess
Our 2nd tour for 09 was awesome. 3 months on
the road, lots of great gigs, familiar faces and fun times. Some of the
highlights were 2 rockin' gigs at the Royal Mail Hotel in Goodna,
playing both Lizottes venues in NSW, playing the Cambridge in
Newcastle, the Junkyard in Maitland, playing and exploring the Blue
Mountains and the South coast of NSW. To all the people who
opened there homes to us and shared champagne breakfasts, tasty late
night/early morning jams, new songs and sounds, provided gorgeous
verandahs and enchanted gardens, cooked captivating curries and of
course conversations. We thank you all so much.
A special thanks to all the wonderful people
who came out saw our shows and bought the album and gave us such
memorable gigs. Hold on because we'll be back very Swoon!

Wintermoon 2009
Ahh what to say about our favourite festival.
Our beloved our preeeeciousss. It was an amazing weekend, so many
outstanding acts we won't even mention names because the entire lineup
was incredible. We played two sets to packed houses (so to speak) and
it was so nice to come home and know half the faces in the audience
after 4 months away touring,
On our soft swooning day set we had Liz Frencham on Big Beautiful bass and Caroline Trengrove on funky fiddle on
a few tracks which was lovely. On our night set we turned it on
turned it up and had people dancing from the first chord to a lively
mix of old favs and some new material.
Between the cool creek and the hot
dancefloors the old friends and the new ones we had an amazing time.
Bring on Wintermoon 2010!
