About the festival

Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours that takes the best folk and contemporary acoustic artists and sends them on the road to tiny halls in communities all over Australia. It is produced by Woodfordia Inc in partnership with many other wonderful Australian festivals, regional partners and great lovers and supporters of folk and contemporary acoustic music.

About the venue

Brunswick Town Hall stands on the traditional lands of the Binjareb and Wardandi Noongar People and is historically associated with the development of the district in the 1930s. The hall is a special place for the community, holding memories of many events, attended by local individuals and families since 1936. 

Brunswick Town Hall has accessible entry (ramp access through main doors, steps onto stage) and has accessible bathrooms (wheelchair accessible).

About the artists

  • Jed Parsons (NZ). In several short years since the release of his dazzling debut album, 'Midnight Feast' (IMNZ Debut Release of The Year finalist), indie-pop virtuoso Jed Parsons has etched his mark on the New Zealand music scene. With over 2 million streams to his name, and countless tours across Aotearoa, including appearances at prestigious festivals such as Auckland City Limits and Electric Avenue, Parsons has solidified his reputation as one of the country's premier singer-songwriters.
  • Alana Wilkinson (AUS). Award-winning songwriter and folk-pop-punk poet Alana Wilkinson continues to emerge as one of the most loved artists on the Australian scene. Combining delicate melodies with disarmingly insightful vignettes about the human condition, Wilkinson is a smiling assassin. Her songs skewer ex-lovers, would-be suitors, ridiculous social norms and the absurd challenges of a suburban upbringing in a merciless, yet strangely affectionate way, leaving audiences feeling like they’re sitting in her living room, chatting about life over a steaming cuppa.
  • Opening the show will be local act Chanieve Sawtell! Chanieve is 18 years old and has enjoyed performing for over 10 years. Over that time, she has performed at Nannup Music Festival, Vat 2, Bridgetown Blues, and various winery’s and brewery’s around the South West.
