A new director for Cygnet 2010.
Steve Gadd, Franklin based musician, teacher, publisher, folklorist, song-catcher and promoter, is an ardent advocate for Tasmanian traditional music and a mentor for dozens of up and coming musicians from the Huon Valley. Steve has taken the reins after Roger Joseph retired after steering the Cygnet Folk Festival tirelesslyfor three great years.
