2025 Festival of Small Halls: Winter Tour

The Festival of Small Halls Winter Tour 2025 is launching in Cooktown — and you’re invited to be part of the magic as two spellbinding acts take the stage for one night only.

Get ready, Cooktown! The Festival of Small Halls Cooktown 2025 is bringing big music to small places once again – and it all starts right here on Wednesday 2 July. This beloved touring folk music experience brings renowned artists to intimate regional venues, and Cooktown has the honour of kicking off the entire Small Halls Winter Tour 2025.

Join us for an evening of rich storytelling, world-class music, and the welcoming community spirit that makes Small Halls events so special.


Featuring: CHAMPAGNE WEATHER (CAN) & CHARM OF FINCHES (AUS)

Champagne Weather (Canada)
Making their highly anticipated Australian debut, Canadian duo Champagne Weather (James Hill and Anne Janelle) blends modern minimalism with folk and roots, creating deeply immersive musical experiences. Their sound weaves together influences like Philip Glass and Appalachian fiddle into a dreamy, melodic tapestry. With accolades including Canadian Folk Music Awards and JUNO nominations, this performance promises to be haunting, healing, and unforgettable.

Charm of Finches (Australia)
Returning to the Small Halls circuit, Charm of Finches are the Melbourne-based sister duo captivating the world with their poetic lyricism and blood harmonies. Their latest album, Marlinchen In The Snow, debuted in the ARIA Top 30 Australian Albums and reflects their experiences touring Canada and Europe. Expect a stunning performance that balances melancholy and wonder, woven with new songs and audience favourites.
