Sydney Folk Festival 2023

Members of 40 Degrees South are happy to be performing at this year’s Sydney Folk Festival – 18-20th August.
We’ll be presenting a themed concert “Songs of Struggle” with heaps of great anthems of solidarity – in the Quakers Hall (119 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills) Saturday from 1-2pm and we’ll be making merry melodies in the Molly Malone Mezzanine (next door to the Gaelic Club at 64 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills) on Saturday evening from 7:30 until 9:00 or so. It’s a come-all-ye and there may be shanties…
There are lots of wonderful artists performing over the weekend – all events a stone’s throw from the Devonshire (eastern) side of Central Station!
Rocking the Boat
40 Degrees South helped “Rock the Boat” on board the James Craig for the 2018 Christmas Party of the Sydney Heritage Fleet.

End of Year Folk Bash
Seasonal songs were the order of the day when the Forties sang at the Folk Federation of NSW’s annual variety End of Year Folk Bash held at the Gaelic Club in Surry Hills. Black Joak Morris presented a Mummer’s Play – always the highlight of the Bash. The evening was complemented by some exuberant renditions of English Village Carols at the Shakespeare.
