On Wednesday, 9 July, the Halifax Progress Association hosted the Festival of Small Halls winter tour. This annual July festival begins in Cooktown and winds its way down the coast, ending at Macleay Island.
Supported by local act Michelle from Halifax, Champagne Weather and Charm of Finches delivered a true communal atmosphere, with each band a family act and the audience filled with friends and family from across the district.
Michelle, a performer on the night and one of the organisers from the Halifax Progress Association, thought the evening met all hopes.
"It absolutely exceeded my expectations. To be honest, I have been very lucky to have some incredible people help along the way. So I am not the whole and sole person of this, and I couldn't have done it without my team from the Halifax Progress Association."
She felt the event was well supported by the local community: "I'm very, very happy, and I think everybody really enjoyed their night tonight. It was a very classy event."
With comfortable sofas, soft lamplight, local wines and shared platters of food, the night offered the sights and sounds of relaxation and intimate folk music, successfully weaving through all the senses.
