2008 lineup

April 3 - Peter Hicks and Annie Parsell were joined by Melisande and Alex, Melanie Gent,  Tessa Lee and Peter Miller.

A wonderful audience was held entranced by magic performances; Peter and Annie were magnificent, commanded total silence, Melisande (Canada) exhibited style and sensuality and we know Melanie is a good songwriter and performer. Surprise of the night was Peter Miller (QLD) with his guitar instrumental and Tessa Lee (new Hobartian) performing her own songs with engaging personality.

"I didn't expect to come to Hobart and find a folk club like this" - Tessa Lee
