The Gulgong Folk Festival, held each year in Gulgong, Central West NSW, has a reputation for attracting some of the finest folk acts in the country and finding that perfect mix between established artists and the hottest up-and-comers. And with the release of the 2012 program it looks as though next year is going to be as amazing as ever.
