Country Music Festival | Boyup Brook Photography

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Boyup Brook is the Country Music Capitol of Western Australia, and the annual Country Music Festival and WA Country Music Awards brings visitors not only from around WA and the rest of Australia, but also from around the world.  This was my first time attending the Festival and it was a bit of a shock to have so many people in our sleepy little town!

Yes the two following photos were taken at the Boyup Brook Country Music Festival, LOL the last thing I (and everyone else) expected to see was a punk playing non-traditional music on the bagpipes, but this guy was very good and I regret not buying one of his CD’s!
