Festival of Small Halls returns to Livingstone as part of Queensland tour
Back
Emu Park’s Cultural Hall will come alive on Sunday 14 November, when the twenty-fourth edition of the much-loved not-for-profit music tour, Festival of Small Halls Australia, performs!
Incredible singer songwriters and instrumentalists – Island-Soul styled Australian-Fijian Andrea Kirwin, and Blues/Folk/Pop guitarist and singer Tullara will play to audiences in 20 communities as part of its Queensland Summer Tour 2021.
Presented by veteran festival producers Woodfordia Inc., tour producer Eleanor Rigden said: “Festival of Small Halls Australia was created specifically to reach out into regions that might not see a lot of touring artists, and we’ve worn a solid groove each year out into Western Queensland and up North, since 2013.
“The artists on this tour have blown audiences away in some of Australia’s largest festivals but they’re also just wonderful people. There is no doubt in my mind that this tour is going to be great fun for both the artists and the communities who host them.
“Festival of Small Halls celebrates the best in communities – the courage, the hospitality, the sense of kinship, and looking out for your mates. We’re so privileged to be welcomed in by each community and shown the best of their town.
“What’s created by putting world class artists into these traditional, familiar venues is something quite unique, incredibly moving and almost spiritual to witness.”
Famous for its larger-than-life folk festivals over the last three decades, Woodfordia have established the Festival of Small Halls as a high-quality tour on the Australian scene and internationally.
Woodfordia has been delighted to be able to safely continue sending Queensland-based artists into Queensland’s regional areas throughout the pandemic.
Andrea Kirwin is an Australian-Fijian Artist/Producer based in Nambour on the Sunshine Coast.
With a warm stage presence, retro soulful sound, and a knack for storytelling, Andrea has been steadily building a national following since the release of her first album, 'From the Ground Up' in 2013.
“Small Halls has been one of my dream gigs for years now,” Andrea said.
“I love playing in character buildings and to be invited to tour my home state of Queensland during this time is a really special opportunity. I can't wait to get on the road and visit regional towns across our beautiful Sunshine State through the Small Halls tour!”
