The 2015 National Folk Festival has announced an indigenous program designed to recognise and celebrate First Peoples culture across music, song and dance.

Headlining the program is Kutcha Edwards, a member of Watbalimba and Blackfire who has worked with acts such as Jeff Lang, Dan Sultan, and Carlos Santana. Also on the bill is Gina Williams and Guy Ghouse, winners of the Best Indigenous Act of 2013 at the WA Music Awards, and Col Hardy, the first Aboriginal person to win the Golden Guitar.

The National Folk Festival takes place in Canberra on the Easter Long Weekend (Thursday April 2 – Monday April 6). Tickets are available from the festival website.
