Here We Go Again...
T'was the week before Fiddlers'
and all through the house,
the phone’s not stopped ringing
but the weather's looking grouse!
Yes folks, the 40th Yarra Junction Fiddlers' Convention kicks off next weekend and the bureau is forecasting pleasantly mild weather. Good for acoustic instruments and pickers alike. Our small but hard-working team has been dotting i’s and crossing t’s to make for another successful Fiddlers' Convention. The Camp Eureka volunteers have the site looking a picture.
If you’re coming in on the Friday night be sure to make it up to the big hall for our Friday night concert and support the artists who volunteered to kick the festival off with a bang. Keep an eye out for any updates on our Facebook page and we look forward to seeing you all in Yarra Junction.
Cheers. Mark P
The Yarra Junction Fiddlers' Convention is Australasia's
biggest and oldest running festival/party for players of
bluegrass, string band, old timey, good timey, cajun
music and their friends and relations.
It is not just about fiddles, but as Gid Tanner said,"the
fiddle drives the band".
Banjos, guitars, bass, mandolins, dobros, autoharps and
even Cajun accordions get a look in too - but no electric
instruments (sorry Richard), and no drums. Concertinas
and mouth- harps? Of course. And lots of dancing.
