Enda Kenny is an Irish-born songwriter who has made his home in Australia. Through ten independent albums, his thoughtful, descriptive stories of his adopted homeland have struck a chord with festival audiences worldwide. A string of early songwriting awards have led to a full time career as one of the best entertainers in the world of folk and acoustic music. His songs are always memorable, often hard-hitting and spiced with plenty of humour.
Peter Pentland, aka Hayseed, performs traditional-styled songs and bush poetry from the hay(seed) day of Australian folk music. He tells stories of farm and bush life in South-Eastern Australia. He put culture into agriculture. His “Beaut Little Fergie Tractor” album, recorded live at the Dan O’Connell Hotel in 1978, opened the door to a career in stand-up comedy (Le Joke, Banana Lounge, Catch a Rising Star), radio (Coodabeen Champions, Bindyborawacks – 3RRR) and television (Shirls Neighbourhood, Cross Country). He has head-lined at both folk and poetry festivals.
