Sonia Anderson

Sonia has discovered that directing a choir is a great way to make sure there is lots of singing in her life. She directs Denmark's Sing for Joy! Choir, and can now pass off any random singing in the supermarket/post office/on the street as 'rehearsing parts for the choir'. Having (relatively recently) conquered her own fear of singing where others can hear her, she now loves nothing more than getting an audience to sing with gusto.

Antipodes - a group of brave and committed song writers who meet on an obsessive basis to put their raw song writing material under the knife.

They received a huge response from the audience and created a real buzz throughout the town. Antipodes is Sue Cunningham, Katie White, Susan Clarke, Laura Rice, Liz Jack and Lara Norman.

Fast Track your Songwriting workshop: (for the bold and brave) The most significant thing that improved my songwriting was joining a songwriting group [Kristina Olsen]. Join Antipodes for a song writing group session, find out what they do and how to set one up. Antipodes will bare their souls, expose some of their tender, fledgling songs and offer you the opportunity to do likewise.

Delivered via cello, classical guitar and voice, the music of Cellokate is folksy-acoustic, but they traverse many styles - flitting past celtic, tipping their hat to country twang, pausing at a jazz croon, even stomping their feet at vaudeville musical theatre. Some of their musical inspiration comes from such diverse sources as Ani di Franco, The Cruel Sea, her mum's singing alto in the local choir, and sitting through church sermons as a kid; however, whilst this duo strolls down trodden paths, they simultaneously invite their audience to change pace a bit, and to take everything in afresh.

Festival favourite Andrew Clermont constantly tours Australia and the world with a variety of lineups including Dya Singh, The Borderers, Totally Gourdgeous and The Fiddler's Festival.
