It was great to head out to Maldon last Sunday to catch the Weeping Willows. It was a great sunny autumn day and Maldon is one of the most picturesque towns in all of Victoria. It's a must see if you've never visited. I've been to the Maldon folk festival and it was one of the nicest events I've been to despite not being a huge folk music fan. I am a fan of live music though.

The Weeping Willows put on a great show. They have great chemistry on stage, talk to the crowd and seemed so happy. I particularly enjoy that they perform lots of their own music and manage to steer away from being a covers band. I love the folk classics but I prefer hearing originals. The Weeping Willows highlighted songs from their new album in the first half of their set and I really enjoyed them.

Support the Weeping Willows and live music as it is such a treasure.

I personally recommend the Yarraville festival as this was particularly great the last time I went. It's large and there is a great atmosphere.
