Warm weather and bright sunshine greeted visitors to Rupanyup's Dirt Music Festival earlier this month.

The festival allowed about 200 visitors to hear music in venues including Rupanyup Anglican Church, Val Hemphill's and Tess Healy's gardens and Rupanyup Bowls Clubrooms.

Organiser Ash Teasdale said live music was on offer from morning until later in the evening with the final session at the bowls clubrooms.

Mr Teasdale said the festival attracted new people as well as many who were regular attendees to hear a wide range of music. These included solo performers accompanied by an electric piano, guitar or accordion, to singer-songwriters and four-piece bands.

"There was a style to suit everyone throughout the day," he said.
