The Festival
The Top End Folk Club hosted the 51st Top Half Folk Festival on the long weekend 9-12 June 2023 at Breeze Holiday Park, Mary River (formerly Mary River Wilderness Retreat).
Performers
The headline act was Austral.
Winners of Traditional Folk Album of the Year at the 2022 Australian Folk Music Awards, Austral will transport you into full festival party mode. They are a high-energy, four-piece Australian Celtic group combining didgeridoo, Irish pipes, high energy fiddling, journeying songs and energetic foot percussion. Whether you see them on stage or at the session afterward, Austral will get your festival going. HUP!
