Dave Stripe and Gavin Jones discussing poster ideas for the new Maidenwell Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

April 8, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Maidenwell Hotel could be hosting a new-style music festival on the October long weekend.<\/p>\n

For the past 14 years, the pub has been the venue for the Maidenwell Folk Gathering in March and in recent years a second folk gathering has been added to events calendar in October.<\/p>\n

But now organisers Dave Stripe and publican Gavin Jones are working towards changing this second weekend into something a little bit different.<\/p>\n

“March would be just acoustic music in the hotel and around the verandahs, getting back to the way it was,” Dave told southburnett.com.au<\/strong><\/p>\n

“October would be more amped up, with a stage out back of the hotel.”<\/p>\n

Music would be more blues or rock, with country and bluegrass tossed into the mix.<\/p>\n

Dave said the aim would be to bring in a headline act to draw a crowd on the Saturday of the festival.<\/p>\n

A working title for the weekend – which could still change – is “The Maidenwell Blues and Bluegrass Festival”.<\/p>\n

He said he could envisage the weekend becoming a big drawcard for the town, a bit like the Maleny Music Weekend (or the Maleny Folk Festival before it evolved into the Woodford event).<\/p>\n

More information about the Maidenwell Festival – which will coincide with the South Burnett and Cherbourg On Show weekend – will be released closer to the event on the Maidenwell Hotel website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
