A NEW-LOOK Timboon Railway Music Festival had crowds of people dancing in the streets. Friday night's music-and-a-meal event, featuring Celt-dance group The Borderers, was a sell-out with people having to be turned away. Saturday was also a winner, event co-ordinator Tiffany Townsend said, as markets, more music and a show `n' shine car show drew hundreds of people to the small town. The only downer, Ms Townsend said, was Port Campbell rock band Troubled Minds failing to show up without any notice, leaving organisers with a two-and-a-half-hour hole in the program. "We ended up with a big break and a lot of people decided to go home and have tea or just go home and not come back." Ms Townsend said the crowd of less than 200 people who stayed for the two last bands of Saturday evening had a great time though."(Warrnambool country band) Rusty Buckets ended up doing encore after encore," she said. "I think most people in town will have sore knees from dancing and jumping today." She said she hoped future organisers would continue with what had been a successful model for the festival. The event showcased a wide range of local food and wine.
