The festival is Tasmania's premier folk and world music event of the year and occurs annually on the second weekend of January. It has run every year since 1982, and has grown to a three day event offering the most musically diverse programme available on the Tasmanian Arts calendar. The programme features a mix of talented artists, including local Tasmanians, mainland Australians and International guests. The event has a reputation as one of Australia's finest medium sized festivals. Concerts, workshops, dances and street events run continually from Friday afternoon to Sunday night - and then there's the sessions at the RSL club or in the pub...
From mid December 2011 you can download the interim festival program as a pdf file from the festival website. Please be aware that this won't be the final version of the program and that there will be some ironing out of details. Hardcopy programs will be available for sale at the festival and Centertainment in early January. The Cygnet Festival organisers have worked hard to keep the tickets at 2001 prices for the best part of a decade. However, this year, to cope with adding an additional venue and due to increased costs from our suppliers, the ticket prices increased between $5 and $10 in 2010, but we think they still represent outstanding value. Cygnet Folk Festival Early Bird tickets provide entry to any of the festival events for the whole weekend. Please remember that a ticket is not a guarantee that you will get in to a particular event at a particular time: as with all festivals, once a venue reaches capacity no more people can be admitted. Download the daily schedule from the website or buy a $3 program and plan what you want to see and be sure to be at your chosen venue in plenty of time to get a good seat. If you can't get in to see your first choice of performer, check out some of the other venues - you might discover something wonderful.

Award Winning Classic Ayckbourne Comedy.
In this heartbreakingly hilarious romp, Ayckbourn manages to weave small town sadness, pathos and bitterness into an insightful comedy. The story revolves around an amateur light opers society's production of The Beggars Opera and its latest inductee Guy Jones, a man who can't say no...... to anything! Throw in illicit affairs, shonky business deals and an eccentric director and you'll be 'begging' for more.
Directed by Ann Lennon-George.
Written by Alan Ayckbourn.
By special arrangement with DFominie Pty Ltd.

Looking for a mini golf , putt putt course, minature golf? Craig Bartlett’s Putt & Play business models are a complete system for financing, installing, and running a mini golf operation. The system is designed to work in a new location or within an already established business, fitting like a glove into existing infrastructure to create substantial reductions on investment costs, and to improve business at the existing establishment. The Mini Golf systems can be placed anywhere in the world.
The proposition provides tempting economics for investors and has the ability to revitalise a stale business with existing land and infrastructure. The concept has been proven on three large scale, world-class mini golf courses. Two are located in Tasmania and one in Brisbane. The first course has been operating for 4 years now and is located at Grindelwald Resort in Launceston Tasmania. The second is at Barilla Holiday Park, Hobart. This course has its 1st birthday this Easter Holidays 2007. The 3rd course was opened December 2006 at Victoria Park Golf Complex, in the centre of Brisbane, Hurston Rd, Hurston. In all three cases, the mini golf system revolutionised the existing business, turned around their property, and brought substantial gains to the host business and investors alike.
In addition to our 18 Hole Mini Golf Business Models we also have a new concept called Putt & Play Putting Ranges.
An 18 hole course takes up an area of between 2,000 and 3,500 square meters of land area. Putting Ranges can be supplied in modules from 20m2 up to an 18 hole putting range taking up a space of 1,000m2.
Interested? - The following paragraphs document the process to get from where you are now, to the running of a successful Putt & Play business model.
Stage 1: Analysis - Craig is sponsored to come and conduct an analysis of the proposed site and examine the needs of the particular situation. Feasilibility studies are conducted quickly with course design sketches and preliminary costings. The go ahead is then given to progress to the next stage.
Stage 2: Planning and Preperation
Craig designs and costs the course, and then legal agreements are supplies for both the host, investor and Putt & Play. There are 10 shares in a company trust that the Host (location owner) has the first option for one or more shares. The rest of the shares if any are taken up by Barilla Putt & Play and suitable investors agreed upon.
Stage 3: Construction - Craig Bartlett constructs course for the agreed cost which is financed by the investors.

From BROADWAY and the WEST END comes a new smash hit musical...Eric Idle of Monty Python pioneered this musical in 2005, when he said "I like the title Spamalot a lot. We tested it with audiences on my recent US tour and they liked it as much as I did… It comes from a line in the movie which goes, 'We eat ham, and jam and Spam a lot.'"
'Doffing the hat' to the fact that there was a hit Broadway musical called Camelot is icing on the cake. The musical officially opened on Broadway on March 17, 2005. Mike Nichol was director and Casey Nicholaw choreographer. The production won the Tony Award for Best Musical and was nominated for 14 Tony Awards. The show played its final performance on January 11, 2009 after 35 previews and 1,574 performances. It was seen by more than two million people and grossed over US $175 million, recouping its initial production costs in the first six months (a modern miracle!). The original Broadway cast included Tim Curry as King Arthur, Michael McGrath as Patsy, David Hyde Pierce as Sir Robin, Hank Azaria as Sir Lancelot, Sara Ramirez as The Lady of the Lake with John Cleese as the (pre-recorded) Voice of God. During the run, notable cast replacements included Alan Tudyk, Merle Dandridge, Clay Aiken and Tasmanian born Michael Siberry as King Arthur. A North American Tour continuously ran from May 2006 until October 2009 in numerous cities, with Michael Siberry as King Arthur for much of it. The London production opened at the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, 17 October 2006. Curry reprised his Broadway role as King Arthur for the first few months. Notable cast replacements include Peter Davison and Sanjeev Bhaskar as King Arthur. The London production closed on 3 January 2009 after two-and-a-half solid years and in 2010 the show is touring the UK.

The Boy Friend 23 September - 2 October. The irresistible musical comedy The Boy Friend is set in the 1920's at Madame Dubonnet's fashionable finishing school in Nice on the sun-kissed French Riviera, where young ladies are schooled in the finer arts of 'marrying well'. But these young ladies dream only of boyfriends and parties. English heiress Polly falls in love with Tony the delivery boy, but recalling her father's warning to beware fortune seekers, poses as Madame Dubonnet's secretary. However, Tony has a secret of his own...he is hiding from his wealthy parents Lord and Lady Brockhurst. Things get hilariously complicated when Polly's father Percival arrives in Nice only to discover that Madame Dubonnet is his former flame, and Tony's parents unexpectedly arrive in Nice. Could a happy ending be only a Charleston away? The Boy Friend by Sandy Wilson first appeared on Broadway in 1954. The role of Polly was performed by the then-newcomer, Julie Andrews and set her path to stardom. Featuring 17 musical numbers including the memorable 'Won't you Charlston with me? and 'I Could Be Happy With You', with an on stage three-piece jazz band and an all female scat trio. Early bird tickets available till 4 September.
