On track to sell-out for the fourth year in a row, the Queenscliff Music Festival has dropped its second line up brimming with first class entertainers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joining Courtney Barnett, Sarah Blasko, Kasey Chambers and The Whitlams is ARIA award-winning rock legend and vocal powerhouse Dan Sultan and the Sahara\u2019s Sultan of Shred, Bombino (described by Noisey magazine as \u2018the world’s best guitarist\u2019).<\/p>\n

Amongst an eclectic selection of local talent is Melbourne sisters Charm of Finches, having wowed crowds with their stunning ballads 18-year-old Mabel Windred-Wornes said herself and sister Ivy, 15, were excited to join the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIvy and I haven\u2019t officially performed on the QMF bill, but we\u2019ve been in the festival\u2019s Foot-in-the-Door competition before,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we applied and got in. We\u2019re both huge fans of Kasey Chambers so are really exciting about seeing her again, we\u2019ve been fans since we were very young.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first started playing music we were in a trio called The Highway Sisters with our friend and we use to sing a lot of Kasey\u2019s old-time country songs – we were lucky enough to open for her at the Murwillumbah Country Roots Fest and meet her then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabel said the duo both sing harmonies and she plays guitar whilst Ivy plays violin (fiddle-style) inspired by Celtic sounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe play our own original material that has folky vibes, I also play cello on some of our recordings and Ivy plays banjo on stage – occasionally I play ukulele and glockenspiel,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mum played in bands throughout the nineties and was always a choir leader, so we\u2019ve always been around music. We also went to a Steiner school where you\u2019re singing a lot of English and Celtic folk songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe learnt a lot of folk there, also harmonies and you have to pick up a string instrument so that\u2019s where I learnt the cello. We were immersed in music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mabel said they\u2019ve been singing together their entire lives and busking and performing gigs from eight years of age.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 12 I started writing my own songs and then Ivy would bring her harmony in. For a school project I wanted to make an EP I thought it would be a small project, but it snowballed and became a proper CD that we released professionally in 2014,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people think we\u2019re a lot older than what we are and are always surprised when I\u2019m talking about the songs and explain I wrote this in year seven.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to perform on the train this year for QMF. We sat opposite Marlon Williams when he performed and were starstruck. It seems like a really fun gig to play.\u201d<\/p>\n
