The 24th Harrietville National Bluegrass & Traditional Country Music Convention will take place on 15-18 November 2012. The organisers invite you to enjoy four nights and three days of acoustic bluegrass and old-time country music. The Convention is held in the Harrietville Community Hall and grounds in the picturesque town of Harrietville in Victoria with beautiful views of the mountains during the day and the stars at night.
The great Audie Blaylock and Redline are returning as the USA bluegrass guests this year. Old-time guests are Adam Hurt (clawhammer banjo , Beth Hartness (guitar) & Stephanie Coleman (fiddle), a trio of fantastic young old-time musicians.

Join in the open mic concerts and informal jamming sessions on site over the weekend. Visit the instrument makers’ displays and stalls.
