‘Long Live the Green Man’ Sculpture for Woodfordia
Following a successful fundraising campaign in 2025, we now have raised the money to donate and install the bronze sculpture of John Thompson as the Green Man on the land at Woodfordia in 2026. Nicole has worked with visionary designer and longtime Woodfordian Paul Songhurst on the installation design and you can see the sculpture on display at the festival, at the Long Live Woodfordia/ Forest of Goodwill venue.
Nicole’s music is now on Bandcamp!
Posting things in this world has become trickier, but all of Cloudstreet’s back catalogue, John Thompson’s songs and Nicole’s other music is now available to buy digitally at Bandcamp, where the musician receives most of the money. Happy days.
Woodfordia Traditional Music School
Nicole teaches traditional-style folk tunes and songs at Traditional Music School, which happens on the last weekend of each month on the festival land at Woodford in Qld. She shares the pleasures of teaching out under the spreading fig tree with Jeremy Dunlop, and other teachers at the school include Alan Kelly, Kristin Kelly and sometimes guest teachers in other styles like bluegrass. Everyone is welcome and the weekend also includes doing a bit of landcare, going to the folk club at Coopers Bar and camping over if you wish. Joy!
