Judy Small is a singer/songwriter I had the opportunity to watch live at the Cobargo Folk Festival in late Fabruary 2007. She has become a favourite of mine since, and it’s astounding that she has a career that spans more than thiry years.

What I got from her performances at Cobargo was all that everyone has loved about her. She is funny, witty, deeply political, and yet, she doesn’t tell her stories in anger, but from a perspective where most of us come from: love. She takes us back to the fundamentals and asks, “why all the fighting?”

I absolutely love her, and although she has a full-time job away from singing now, I look forward to seeing her at a Melbourne gig in June 2007.
