New York Public Library – John Flannigan (“Flano”), Warren Boyd and Isabelle Fogarty are the New York Public Library, a lively, popular, and thoroughly entertaining trio who have been an icon of the Sydney folk scene for years, having begun their career at the original Shack. They play a variety of music including originals, folk, comedic and something they call “adapted bluegrass”.

Ken McArthur - Ken has been a keen guitarist for over 40years. In that time he has had the opportunity to perform many different styles at numerous venues throughout his profession. A particularly fond memory was a debut performance at "The Shack" when it was in Waterloo Street back in the 60s. He has passionately embraced his art by incorporating periods in his life involving acting, theatre, film & television. Inevitably, Ken would find himself gravitating back to his true love the guitar. Ken feels that he has been very lucky to have had the opportunity to perform with people of note, such as; James Blundell, Jimmy Little, Frankie J Holden, Sarah Mckenzie & many others. He currently performs in the "Ken McArthur Jazz Quartet", Port Macquarie swing outfit "The Black Magic Big Band", rock & rollers "The Greyhounds" & occasionally performs solo.

Sarah and Margie – Two wonderful singers, Sarah Fogarty and Margaret Salem have been performing as a duo for many years now. Their voices blend to produce amazing harmonies that are truly exquisite. To top it all off, their songs are sung straight from the heart. A rare treat indeed.
