FOLK IN BROKE 2009







Music, Wine & Food  Folk in Broke has now grown into a true Hunter Valley event.  This year sees the event in a vineyard setting.  Vineyards have traditionally been the source and place for fun and good music - Here is your chance to spend some time to experience just that.

 Fiona Boyes Our headliner this year is the great Fiona Boyes who has been declared Australia's Queen of the Blues - She gives out sassy and soulful electric and acoustic blues  She is the first Australian — and first woman — to win the Blues Foundation’s International Blues Challenge.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear some really good blues guitar work and inspiring voice

Festival Cafe The Festival Cafe will provide all day snacks and meals as well as a program of music & entertainment 

Dinner Cabaret in The Barrel Room Our event has always had a Friday night performance - this year it is in the form of a Dinner Cabaret in The Barrel Room.  Pre-dinner drinks and nibbles followed by a great mix of music and comedy whilst you enjoy wine and a first class dinner provided by the chefs from Barclay Square Restaurant - all for only $88 - limited places.

Market Stalls Market stalls will be set up through the vineyard so you can come away with some terrific wares


Festivalgoer's will be able to camp in Nightingale Vineyards or in Herbert Reserve  
[note though, no campfires as it's bushfire season]or alternately source some 
of the excellent accommodation in the area to suit a variety of budgets.
