Mia Dyson: Thredbo Blues Festival
Apr 21st, 2006 by Hil
I’ve just got around to making a Flickr set of photos of the Thredbo Blues Festival in January. Thredbo is one of the skiing resorts in the Snowy Mountains up near Mt Kosciusko, but in summer the blues festival takes over the village, casual and cool, for a weekend. The highlight for us was seeing Mia Dyson. She is a young, fabulously talented blues singer, guitarist and slide player. But we also saw the Foreday Riders, Ray Beadle, and others, and took a ride up the Kosciusko chair lift.
I agree, we had a great time. I don’t really like the word ‘charming’ because it is so overused, but that is really the right word for this mountain village. Add some great blues and its definitely something I’ll be returning to.
