Sessions are now at the Ringwood East Senior Citizens Hall.
A 'Round Robin' session is for singing, playing, reciting or story telling. We all take turns to perform in a supportive atmosphere, or you can just watch and/or join in as you wish. You may suggest an item for everyone to join in. Audience welcome.

The Burning Bridges are an old-school string band with a constantly evolving repertoire that reaches back to the bedrock of American country music, including old time, bluegrass, alt-country, and an expanding catalogue of original yet classic-sounding songs and tunes. The band appears regularly at national festivals and venues across Melbourne and statewide and has released three albums to date, the most recent, Whipporwill, in August 2023. Members include Peter Somerville (banjo/ vocals), Fran Martin (guitar/ vocals), and rising fiddle maestro Tom Somerville (fiddle/ guitar). Newest member Jim Taylor features on bull fiddle and vocals.

The Billabong Band is the Victorian Folk Music Club's own performance group and is probably the longest established band in Australia playing traditional music for Bush / Colonial dances and for concerts. The line-up is variable and depends on which musicians are available at the time.
The VFMC has a family bush dance, normally on the first Saturday of each month (excluding January). This month, the dance is on the second Saturday. Dances are called so these events are suitable for all ages. A different band is featured each month and everyone is welcome.
