CRAIG & SIMONE
Simone and Craig perform a blend of original songs and instrumentals
which cover a range of Folk music styles including Delta Blues,
Ki Hoalu (Hawaiian slack key) with occasional Celtic and Country
Music influences.
Their original songs are often poignant and hard
hitting ballads which explore a variety of political and social
topics.
Together they are regulars on the festival circuit and have performed
at many venues including the Woodford Folk Festival, the National
Folk Festival and the Sydney Acoustic Guitar Festival.
