Galong To Host Festival Of Small Halls

Galong will welcome Ryan Young and Alana Wilkinson when they feature in the Festival of Small Halls Summer Tour 2024: Woodford Folk Festival Illawarra to Illawarra Folk Festival.

Presented by the world-renowned team behind the Woodford Folk Festival (Woodfordia Inc), the Festival of Small Halls is Australia’s largest regional music tour.

This tour marks the 37th venture into rural, regional and remote areas of the country, with a van full of bunting, instruments and folk spirit.

The Summer Tour 2024 will commence at Woodford Folk Festival, before heading south and inland, then crossing the Great Dividing Range and heading back north up the coast, stopping at the Illawarra Folk Festival along the way.

Focusing on traditional Scottish music, Ryan Young brings new life to very old, often forgotten tunes by playing them in his own unique way.

His fiddle playing is brimming with fresh melodic ideas, an uplifting rhythmic drive and a great depth of dynamics and precision.

Festival of Small Halls Summer Tour 2024 starts from December 27 - January 1 at the Woodford Folk Festival before heading south to Yetman on January 3.

The tour continues to 16 communities across New South Wales, including the Illawarra Folk Festival between January 19 and 21, before concluding at Wardell on January 2024.
