AMAIDI
Amaidí is a Brisbane-based powerhouse folk outfit bringing wild tunes, heavy rhythm and big energy to every stage. Drawing on Irish, Scottish and Australian music, they blend tight musicianship with a fresh sound that hits hard and gets the crowd moving.
CHARLEY CASTLE & THE BOYS IN THE WELL
Charley Castle and the Boys in the Well offer an old-is-new brand of bluegrass connecting elements of bygone country and folk with modern sensibilities. A fast-paced, infectious dynamic and equally catchy songs make for a holler-inducing live show. In the classic string band-style, Charley leads the talents of Reuben Ryan on acoustic guitar, Henry Junor on double bass and George Teasdell on mandolin, with harmonies galore.
The quartet recently took out First Place in Tamworth Country Music Festival’s ‘Best of the Buskers’ Competition, which saw them play Tamworth’s biggest stage to record crowds in January 2025.
LIZZIE FLYNN & THE RUNAWAY TRAINS
With a combination of lyrical honesty and charming melodies, Lizzie Flynn writes songs that blend a little satirical storytelling with a lot of joyful emotion. With The Runaway Trains they go off the tracks to play folk that all folk can relate to – from country to Celtic and a few other stations in-between. The Trains: Gareth Mewes (violin), Benja King (double bass) and Sam De Santi (guitar).www.lizzieflynn.com
