The Maidenwell Folk Gathering at the weekend was so popular that organisers have already set the date for the next big bash … it will be held on March 14-16, 2014.<\/p>\n

The area in and around the Maidenwell Hotel was transformed into a mini music festival from Friday with musicians of all shapes and sizes taking turns on the indoor and outdoor stages.<\/p>\n

The Jemalong walk-up stage, under a fig tree at the back of the hotel, operated all day Saturday under the expert attention of musician and soundman Andrew Beckett, from Murgon, who recorded many of the performances.<\/p>\n

On Saturday night, the chalkboard concert inside the hotel attracted a large crowd.<\/p>\n

But it was not all just about music. \u00a0There were also practical workshops for musicians, \u00a0bush poetry and even heritage seeds available for sale and swap.<\/p>\n
