Join our round-robin playing session most Tuesday evenings..
This week, an "all in" session evening where we all join in to play tunes, dance brackets and folk songs. We take turns to suggest the next item. Audience welcome.
Bhan Tre is a band which can only be classified as unique and exciting. Consisting of three of Melbourne's most accomplished and vibrant female performers, Bhan Tre is refreshing in it's professional and musically skilled approach to Celtic music. Bhan Tre perform as an acoustic trio with a repertoire of traditional Irish tunes and a selection of original material with a strong Celtic flavour.
Jane has been calling dances across Australia and internationally in UK, USA and Russia since the 1970s. She is currently the dance convenor for the Victorian Folk Music Club, and is a member of the Brumbies bush band and Delia's Friends English country dance band.

Corona Virus Arrangements
Victoria is again in lockdown. Our next dance and our next concert were to have been live events in their halls.
Alas, this is no longer possible.
Please monitor this web site for details of forthcoming events as the situation may change rapidly.
We will post any changes as soon as we possibly can.
If you have purchased a ticket for any VFMC event which has to be changed, canceled or postponed, VFMC
will offer flexible refund or transfer arrangements.
Obviously we intend that regular VFMC Sessions, and Concerts, and Dances will be
maintained as normally as possible as the virus continues its course. All seem to
agree that making music in the company of each other is preferable to soloing alone
at home, and the Committee is keen to get back to meeting at the halls when we feel
it is entirely safe to do so.
The VFMC Committee are well advanced in preparing CovidSafe plans
which are published on this web site.
We have
tested the technology for online Zoom access at the halls so people can continue
participating in VFMC Sessions and Concerts remotely, from home or wherever you
happen to be in the world on any Tuesday night.
