High and Dry (2009)

As Soulshine's feature festival for October and November, we keep an ear close to the ground for any news coming out of the High and Dry camp. So when a second artist announcement hit the information superhighway, we're there to report it...let alone BYO approval...

Set a couple of hours North of Sydney at the beautiful Camp Wollimi in St Albans, the High and Dry festival brings in Summer with a whole wealth of fantastic local acts. Run by a bunch of concerned citizens looking after our festival needs, it adds itself to the growing list of for-the-people/by-the-people festivals rearing their heads around the traps.

So, in order of importance, there are two very special announcements coming out of the people at High and Dry (not physically.)

1) High and Dry have secured permission to make the event BYO. That is, drag the dusty esky out of it's winter storage and bring it along to the festival with a case of beer contained therein.

2) A brand spankin' new announcement of artists has hit the web, with some very fine Australian acts making up the already formidable list of Sydney underground bands. That makes the full line-up appear as such:

Barons of Tang
Entropic
The Bakery
Combat Wombat
Rumpunch

Crooked Fiddle Band
Brian Campeau
Juke Baritone
