Featuring:

Bruce Watson Trio

Bruce Watson Trio

Bruce Watson joins with Caitlin French and her scintillating violin and Hugh Belfrage with his exquisite cello as the Bruce Watson Trio. The trio has all the joy and power of Bruce's solo performances, added to rich, lush and rollocking accompaniments.


Supported by:

The Troubadours

The Troubadours

Troubadours are musicians and singers who flourished during the 11th to 13th centuries and who often travelled to entertain noble courts. We seven troubadours are of a similar age who might hopefully amuse this noble VFMC house. We might dress in mediaeval garb, that is if we can remember to do so.
We modern day Troubadours - seven fellas - from left: Dominic, Brian, Don, Michael, Wal, Ken and Dieter, meet monthly in Park Orchards to make music and have fun.

Next Dances
Family Bush Dance
5th December 2026 7.30pm until 10.30pm


Featuring:

The Billabong Band

The Billabong Band

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). Dances are called so these events are suitable for all ages. A different band is featured each month and everyone is welcome.
