Thanks everyone for making 2009 a success!
Thanks to everyone who contributed to making the Cygnet Folk Festival another life affirming occasion this year, with a relaxed vibe, lovely weather and cheery festival goers. We were delighted to showcase some terrific new-comers on our 10 stages, ecstatic to present some music legends from the mainland and overseas, thrilled to welcome back some top flight performers who have graced our stages in the past, and blessed to welcome back some that have become valuable regulars in our program. Thanks particularly to all the enthusiastic, motivated volunteers for all your dedication and ingenuity. Thanks to the whole community for embracing the festival so heartily and a warm vote of appreciation to the Huon Valley Council for their special effort with waste management - it was thanks to their efforts while everyont slept that kept the whole town tidy over the weekend.
