This is the 22nd folk festival conducted by the Illawarra Folk Club and the sixth compilation CD of the talented and varied performers who will be part of making this years festival a memorable event. Last year was a new beginning for us as we moved our 20 year old festival from Jamberoo to Bulli. We were unsure of the outcome and called our CD ‘The Tradition Continues’. Fortunately the Festival was a success and now seems to have permanently bedded down at Slacky Flat in Bulli. We’re ‘Back on Track’ and sit just beside, what some folk like to call the oldest track in the world - a track down the escarpment said to be used by Aborigines for the last 20000 years.
