WOODFORD FIRE EVENT 2009 - Pt 1 of 3

This event takes place on New Year's Day every year at the Woodford Folk Festival (north of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia). It's the perfect way to say good bye to the old year and welcome the new one. There's a different theme each year and it's nothing short of spectacular.
The Woodford Folk Festival is absolutely amazing! Find out more about it by visiting www.woodfordfolkfestival.com
I took this video on a small camera and I had to limit the length due to limited battery capacity. Unfortunately I missed the Aboriginal lighting ceremony in the start but I've captured many great highlights. Sit back and enjoy!

Marimba music in the Lantern Parade was Jambezi, Transbalkan Express played the music for the Monsters and Don Quixote, Dougie Maclean performed "This Love Will Carry" as the Girl tamed the Monsters, Nancy Kerr and James Fagan. Aquapella and the Fire Choir performed the choral pieces and there were featured performances from Stuart Ransom on the shakuhachi and Bob Robinson on didgeridoo.

there were a lot of different musicians doing it-The marimba music would have had to have been Linsey Pollack- the fiddle stuff was Nancy Kerr and James Fagan with some others.
