Hi
Does anyone know of any banjo/bluegrass concerts that will be played in Adelaide? I want to get a gift for my dad and would like to send him to a concert if anything is ever held in lil’ old Adelaide.
Thanks for you help

Hi. The Annual Gold Coast Acoustic Music Festival will feature bluegrass bands including Coolgrass, The Stetson family, Redeemers, Hillbillygoats, Bushfire and Balyana. There will also be workshops on flat-picking guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle. 18-19 September at Glennon Park Nerang. See attached flyer or go to http://www.coastacoustics.com.au Coast Acoustics meets every 3rd Sunday for open mic, jams and concerts. Please email or phone me on 0420861911 for more details.

Great idea Greg,
Now all you need is another 24hrs added to a standard day. It would be a great opportunity to share ideas and bring the bluegrass community closer together.

Hello, We recorded this years Yarra Juntion Fiddlers Convention concert.
Andrew let us plug into his mics and we recorded 99.9% of complete raw concert. Large spaces between bands but it is what it is. We will try and cut out all the silence in between as soon as we get time. We plan on recording more events for all to enjoy in the future.
Also we we record for you live at festivals from our camp. So if you are having a good jam somewhere and what a memory of it, come find us and we will record it for you.

For now we have a link on our last page of our website http://www.banjobrothersaustralia.com

Please go there and download from this link if you are interested. We would love to hear back from you. It is safe and working for our other members that have already downloaded it.
No need to join us to download but feel free to become one of our free members.
Enjoy your day.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get a gauge if anyone would be interested in watching Bela Fleck perform at the Sydney Opera House in 2010.

Would you please call me at 02 92597827?

Kind regards.

Hi Julianne. If you haven’t turned up anything yet, I could help. I come across lots of banjos and am happy to fit a banjo to a players need and budget, and ensure they get value for money and as good an instrument as possible. I can also help get it set up properly which is an integral part of buying a banjo. Regards, Peter Nahuysen. Bellbird Banjo Co peternahuysen@optusnet.com.au @Julie-ann

Hi I am the events editor for viewnews.com.au If you have another event on the sunshine coast hinterland please let me know I will add it to our comprehensive calendar of events and also send out our editor to cover your event for our news site.

Great question smallAl
I have put a call into the CMAA for the info. Sadly there is no mention of the outcome on their website.

who won the australian bluegrass championships 2009?

Very well prepared site, new information appears daily, leaves most other Bluegrass sites in the dust. Greg, you’ve really produced something that the whole Bluegrass community greatly appreciates. Thank you.
