Cate and Amla

Cate Taylor is an indie-folk singer-songwriter from Naarm (Melbourne), known for her evocative songwriting and delicate guitar and mandolin arrangements. Her songs  explore personal, social, and environmental themes. Links with nature come through in every composition whether briefly or explicitly (cos heck, the climate crisis an’ all!).

Amla Periarkan, a captivating multi-instrumentalist (flute, violin, vocals), brings additional depth to their sound, adding layers of texture and deliciousness. Together, they craft moving songs that blend storytelling, ballads, and upbeat tunes into an engaging musical experience.

Featuring:

Brumbies bush band

Brumbies bush band

Melbourne's Favourite Bush Band. Formed in 1978, the Brumbies have performed for generations of Melbourne's folkies and bush dancers. With a vast repertoire of dances, and one of the best dance callers in Australia, the Brumbies entertain dancers of all ages, from kinder to pensioners, and from experts to beginners. Our songs are mainly traditional Australian, but include some more modern and some international items.

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.
