The folk festival, easily among the most popular in the country, is held near Woodford, Queensland from the 27th December to the 1st January. The lineup contains a bunch of musicians either featured or supported by Timber and Steel including Basement Birds, Blue King Brown, Katie Noonan & The Captains, Kim Churchill, Lior, Mal Webb, Mama Kin, Martin Pearson, Sally Seltmann, Ted Egan, That 1 Guy, The Cat Empire, The Crooked Fiddle Band, The Little Stevies, The Wilson Pickers (above), TinPan Orange and Totally Gourdgeous.
