Live music

Georgia Cortes Rayner

Georgia Cortes Rayner is a late blooming singer songwriter from Scotts Head.

Georgia’s distinctive smooth vocals, and heartfelt lyrics combine with her acoustic and electric guitar to create something that is a mix of folk, blues, country, rock and hip hop, with quirky observational social commentary. Throw in her take on her favourite covers and you’ve got a diverse cruisy musical experience.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Australian and Ecuadorian parents, raised in New Orleans, Brooklyn, Australia has been home since 1990, settling in Scotts Head in 2004. After careers in law, town planning and local government, Georgia took the plunge into being a fulltime singer songwriter at age 52. At age 55 Georgia released her first Album, The Past Is A Passenger’ to rave local and international reviews. At 58, she’s now writing songs for her second album, and gigging as much as possible.

Georgia will be on the main stage from 10am – 2.30pm

Community Group

Forest Ecology Alliance

Forest Ecology Alliance (FEA) are an environmental organisation based on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. FEA is made up of ecologists, botanists, environmentalists and citizen scientists who work together with the aim to safeguard Country.

FEA work towards the conservation of native forests on Gumbaynggirr homelands, alongside other conservation groups, whom we work with and mutually support.

Their main efforts go into producing ecology surveys, writing, publishing and distributing scientific reports relating to specific local forests. They make recommendations to various organisations, (eg. Forestry Corporation NSW, and the EPA). FEA also work to educate community about what is happening in the local forests in regards to their management by holding stalls at local markets and public events. FEA have been on radio and television and in the newspapers.

They are a non-exclusive alliance and not affiliated with any political party. Their aim is to help connect senior experienced ecologists and botanists and other scientists with younger citizen scientists to mentor them, encourage them, and provide a network for them.

FEA will be on the gates welcoming all to our market with a friendly smile.  There is no rule to donate as you enter the gates but if you can please do so and help their valuable cause.
