Warrnambool Standard April 2nd 2016
Local musician Kayla Dwyer’s attendance at the National Folk Festival in Canberra last weekend took an unexpected twist when she ended up winning a music award.
Ms Dwyer went along to help folk musician Peter Daffy with his sound engineering, but won the Lis Johnston Memorial Award for Vocal Excellence after filling in a spot at the last minute.
“This is very special to me,’ Ms Dwyer said.
“I’m a bit shocked, really, to say the least.”
The award was created in honour of Victorian folk singer Lis Johnston, who passed away 22 years ago.
