Group Introduction
Our approach is from kitchen table up, not from the orchestra down.
In 1987, 10 passionate individuals initiated a small, rural folk festival for 800 devotees of traditional folk music.
This grassroots event became the Queensland Folk Federation (QFF); an innovative art
organization that sought to preserve and promote folk culture and inspire individuals and communities to engage in artistic and cultural expression.
