Robyn Arya reports that singer-songwriter Lior was one of the star performers at the annual Port Fairy Folk Festival which attracted a crowd of about 15,000 music lovers to the Victorian seaside town over the Labour Day holiday weekend.

He delighted fans at two concerts as he sang his hit songs including the popular Bedouin Song from his Autumn Flow album.

Backed by musicians on violin, guitar and drums, Lior demonstrated his beautifully powerful voice and melodic songs and received loud applause.

The sell-out festival featured more than 500 acts in folk, blues, country and world roots music.

For those who did not have a ticket, performances were also held on outdoor stages in the main street. Adding to the atmosphere were buskers and a craft market.

Among the top acts at the festival were Christine Anu, Eric Bibb (USA) Luka Bloom (Ireland), Banditalian (Italy), Habib Koite Bamada (Mali), Shane Howard and the legendary Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows.
