Bluegrass Parkway, from W.A., is Australia’s most highly credentialed and experienced bluegrass band. The band places a high priority on presenting bluegrass in its most authentic traditional form; e.g., performances take place around a single microphone. Another feature of the band is the very entertaining on-stage repartee that takes place between band members.

The Lost Quays is a well-known 10 voice male vocal group, from Fremantle, that performs sea shanties and other songs of the sea! The group performs both a cappella (unaccompanied) and with a sprinkling of guitar, mandolin & concertina. The Lost Quays perform with energy and good humour and relish a strong audience connection. As well as traditional & nautical folk material, from around the world, the group also performs some original material.
