Play It Martha

Play It Martha

After many years of working and flirting, musically, with each other, Play It Martha is the newest creative incarnation of Patrick Evans and Cora Browne. As veterans of the Victorian folk scene they have come together to share their love of harmony, well-crafted song and the odd rollicking chorus. The vibe is playful, yet sincere, honouring the folk tradition with new interpretations of the classics, old and new, while adding to the genre with fresh original songs. If you love soaring voice, lush harmony and skilful musicianship, a session with Play It Martha should set you right up!

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 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.
