Welcome to Victoria’s Longest Running Folklore Club
VFMC is delighted to be back to live events in halls.
We will carefully follow all government health directives, including limiting numbers according to density limits where necessary.
Please check event details on this web site before attending in person.
We will update details of specific events as quickly as possible.
We anticipate that some people will remain cautious about attending public events.
We will continue to support our audiences and participants as best we can
by continuing Zoom on-line access to our events while there is demand.
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.

to preserve, research and popularise our Australian Folklore Heritage
of traditional songs, music, poetry, prose and dance.

prose and dance in the traditional style.
to maintain forums where singers, musicians, reciters, dancers
and interested organisations may exchange information,
receive help and guidance for the understanding and promotion
of Australian Folklore.
COVID-19 Arrangements
The VFMC Committee is regularly updating COVID-19 arrangments in line with current government rules and guidelines. We are especially mindful that many of our members and event patrons are concerned about risks of infection. We endeavour to strike a balance between these concerns and the prevailing practices in the community generally. Additional specific details may be found on both the Concerts and Dance pages
