Damian Howard and the Ploughboys Acoustic Set

Sat 21st February 09 | 12:00pm - 12:45pm
River Stage

Introducing one of Australia’s popular festival bands - Our original material is an eclectic mix of high energy to Australian roots/folk even some country - that has poignant themes - Celtic heritage, Australian heritage and imagery, Indigenous Australian Culture, Social Justice and much more.....
This considerable talent becomes a powerful force in full flight, when their over 14 years of touring and recording, bring great songs, soaring vocals and excellent arrangements to an irresistible high, and is a performance that should be tasted, savoured and definitely not missed!
"...Original-penned songs that reek of the Australian landscape..."
An awesome voice and talent with an impressive list of recording and performing credits.......the outstanding Mercy should be rated as one of the Australian songs of the year..."(David Connolly, Geelong Advertiser).
“The Ploughboys are a great band to watch. They seem to have a crowd of instant fans (like fish in the desert after rain, they magically appear) attracted by a swaggering and cheeky Aussie gregarious presence that raises the stakes with real passion.” (Jamie McKew Port Fairy FF Artistic Director.)
