The Friends of Jackeys Marsh Inc. are extremely excited to

– to be held between the 24th and 27th of January 2014.
Nicky Bomba is headlining this festival!
Bomba has recently won the ARIA award for “Engineer of the

nation. His new album has already hit number 5 in the ARIA’s
official Jazz Albums Chart and he has been nominated for the
Music Victoria Award for AWME Best Global or Reggae Act.

and the DeVilles, Dublo, The Lawless Quartet and Guthrie.
Stacks of interstate and local bands have been announced on the festival website which

follow in the coming weeks.
This festival has a history of selling out and this year is sure to follow suit.
Tickets are strictly limited to 1000 and went on sale through our website on Monday.

rise – so get in early.

The Jackeys Marsh Forest Festival has been running since 1983 and is a biennial music,
arts and sustainable living event held in the beautiful valley of Jackeys Marsh, nestled
below the Great Western Tiers, close to Deloraine in Tasmania. This year the festival is
being held over a long weekend – which means there will be a whole day and night of
extra entertainment!
After more than 30 years of campaigning to protect it’s forests this festival is also
celebrating the World Heritage Deceleration of the Great Western Tiers.
“This is a family friendly festival with four days of workshops, kids activities, guided walks
and three nights of music from a large mix of genres, including beautiful folk, reggae,
blues, jazz, funk and soul bands plus totally rocking music that will get you up and dancing
late into the night.” – Bridget Nicklason-King, Producer.
