The National Folk Festival started life as the Port Phillip District Folk Music Festival. It was held on the weekend of 11 & 12 February 1967 at the Teachers College, Melbourne University, and was relatively modest compared to the current event, being held over two days with an Official Opening on the Friday evening by Alan Marshall. In the Program’s opening remarks Mick Counihan (committee member) wrote “Principally, (in Australia) there is no focal point, no meeting place for the exchange of songs, styles, ideas. Here, a serious Folk Music Festival can play an essential role and this is what the Port Phillip Festival, intended as an annual, national event, must aim to do.”
