#woodfordfolkfestival — Public Fediverse posts

My #woodfordFolkFestival bingo card filled up pretty quickly, in no particular order:

* on one day, I had several women singing a cappella while I showered
* bumped into Costa the Garden Gnome
* Saw three former work colleagues perform
* was offered free edibles
* bumped into Dr Karl
* Saw in New Years with a cabaret dancer doing a headstand, naked with a lit sparkler between her arse cheeks

There was more but my #WFF2023 bingo card was already full.

Day 6 update from #woodfordFolkFestival

Best Fever Dream: Sewer Rat Girl
Great show that covered some real & surreal territory. I think by seeing her show, I joined a cult? I'm unsure. Check in with me later.

Best Performance: my youngest playing violin in the Folkaphonic Orchestra
Making his 2nd Woodford appearance, it is objective fact that this was clearly the best performance not only of the day but the entire festival and not parental bias... 😜

Caught some talks, art & music

#WFF2023

We were in two minds about heading straight home to Nimbin from #woodfordfolkfestival tomorrow, or breaking the journey in Brisbane, I think we'll spend a day in #Brisvegas

Day 5 highlights from #WFF2023:

The NYE 3 minutes of silence, nothing but crickets and frogs as 60,000 people are dead quiet. Spine tingling.

The roar afterwards is unforgettable.

Surprise Standout: Alana Wilkinson
I knew nothing of her and she blew me and the packed Parlour away with her passion, compassion, wit, humour and general brilliance.

Most Committed: Betty Grumble doing a naked headstand for what felt like 10 minutes with a sparkler between her arse cheeks.

Day 4 #woodfordFolkFestival highlights:

Continued the "is this WFF2003 or #WFF2023?" cognitive dissonance by being in the mosh for #Custard & #Regurgitator back to back.

This was aided by 2003 being the last time Gurg played here.

Custard and Gurg brought their A games They were on fire with tight, energetic shows. I'd go so far as to say they were the best gigs I've seen from either band.

Lot's grey GenX moshing, slam dancing, crowd surfing & up on shoulders.

Loads of sore bodies today 🤣

Day 2 highlights from #woodfordFolkFestival

* Best music: Ukelele Death Squad
High energy, tight musicianship, great songs, light comedy.

* Best Perfornance: Temple of JuJu
Every performer at this event was brilliant. So much technical skill & performance flair. Space Cowboy runs a tight show

* How tF have I never heard of: Jackie Marshall?
Is it because she's a she, an #anarchist & her music is political? She stars in this 2023 movie:

I'll be watching that

Sights from day 1 at #WFF2023:

Acts of note:
* #fourplayStringQuartet, sans @neilhimself were the best act of the day. I think I'll catch all their shows.

* Bad Sext were the best new act I saw. Grrl punk show meets cabaret meets comedy, had it all. Great show. Would fit in at @dnalounge if you could drag them out of Brisbane.

* Resin Dogs - defied my expectations of being a sad rehash of 2003 and brought a high energy set of bangers - including the new stuff.

TIL at #woodfordFolkFestival that the #auslan gesture for "toxic" appears to be what teenage me would recognise ad "the dickhead gesture".

Is this thing on?

It's me, @jaystephens , taking WeAreBrisbane to #woodfordfolkfestival tomorrow morning... a long drive across the border from #Nimbin

Made it home from Woodford I'm wondering how long is it acceptable to still wear the season camper wristband for?

Asking for a friend.
