Music Deli presents live recordings from the Port Fairy Folk Festival

Each year over the second weekend in March, thousands of music fans travel to the beautiful small seaside town of Port Fairy on Victoria's west coast to enjoy three nights and three days of world, roots and acoustic music. ABC Radio National's Music Deli recording teams have been travelling to the festival for more than twenty years, making recordings and broadcasting many wonderful live performances to radio listeners around Australia.
