The 8th Guildford Banjo Jamboree is almost upon us.
It’s held in the little village of Guildford, near Castlemaine in Central Victoria. Organisers are sure that this year’s Jamboree will be as enjoyable as the last seven, with loads of talented artists in concerts and workshops, jam sessions going night and day, a fantastic Saturday Night Dance and a Sunday morning Gospel singalongs. The Jamboree aims to be a friendly, enjoyable and informative gathering of musicians and music lovers. The weekend ticket price is only $30, which includes camping. Other ticket prices are on the Guildford Jamboree Website. No pre-bookings – just roll up and check in at the Public Hall.
As well as the concerts and workshops, expect old favourites such as the Saturday Parade and Big Tree Photo, the Robbie Watts Pick-Off, the Saturday night Dance, the Sunday morning Gospel singalongs, the Instrument Makers Display at London House, and Glen Bale’s lit-up Big Banjo.

Yes, the Guildford banjo jamboree is a festival not to be missed.
For the first time a Youth banjo pick off is going to be a part the Robbie Watts memorial pick off.
The youth award [under 18 years] will be funded from the Ron de Graauw memorial fund.
What a wonderful concept, the organizers are to be commended.
