2012 festival will start on the evening of Thursday January 26 (Australia Day), and go through to early evening on Sun Jan 29th.

Most performers will be at the festival for the whole weekend, except Broderick Smith who will be there on Friday, Rory Ellis and Tim Hackett on Saturday, Crosswind on Saturday, Jordie Lane on Saturday evening and Sunday, Rose Bygrave and Marcia Howard also on Saturday evening and Sunday, Judy Turner and Neil Adam on Saturday and Sunday, and both Mike Jackson and Richard Perso will not arrive until Friday. Nick Charles has had to withdraw due to committments in New Zealand.

This is the first draft of the programme, and may well change in small ways before the start of the festival, and extra shows and workshops will be added in the coming weeks.
