Festival of Small Halls is coming to Goulburn

The 21^st edition of the not-for-profit music tour will visit Goulburn on April 16 as part of a packed tour schedule with the performers visiting 20 community halls across New South Wales.

Producer Eleanor Rigden said that they were inspired by the way community halls have been able to adopt the rapidly changing events environment and do not not shy away from the extra hoops they have had to jump through to keep their communities safe.

"We are excited to be back in Goulburn. Festival of Small Halls is about the communities that we visit. We bring high quality artists to leverage a gathering that is unique to that town," Ms Rigden said.

"Towards the end of 2020 when we got back on the road, hall committees and local groups really stepped up, realising it was more important than ever to support their communities to safely come together after a year of difficulty and isolation."

Famous for their larger-than-life folk festivals over the last two decades, Woodfordia presents a programme with the ukulele strummer and drummer Bobby Alu and the indie pop-rock band This Way North.
