Imbil Festival – 5th to 7th November 2010.
The 17th Imbil Acoustic Music Weekend is promising to be a great weekend of acoustic music. The music at the Imbil Music Weekend is ever evolving and is made up of many genres including bluegrass, old-time, Irish, acoustic blues, folk and gypsy jazz. It is a grass roots camping weekend for musicians and their families held at the Borumba Deer Park 9km outside Imbil .
The focus of the weekend is about providing a venue where like-minded musicians can spend the weekend camping and playing music. There are also some organized parts of the weekend including the Saturday night concert, Sunday concert and poet’s breakfast and workshops for various instruments.
