fRETfEST played the Woodford Folk Festival for 6 years in a row, beginning in 2007/08.
We took 40 finalists from around Queensland to experience the Woodford Folk Festival and discovered Daniel Champagne, Kim Churchill and many others at The LOTUS venue that year.
In 2009, fRETfEST returned and so began a journey that formed relationships and helped establish fRETfEST as the powerhouse of discovery that it is today.
Along the way, fRETfEST became known as "the coolest Chalkboard for solo and duo musicians from across Australia!"
Auditions were held daily at the festival and evening concerts attracted crowds every night.
Here is a look-back at some of the hightlights of our Woodford journey!
