Colbinabbin 2009

From a small gathering at the pub a few years ago, the Colbinabbin Singers and Songwriters Festival has grown. There was a real stage outside and lots of local musicians to fill it, and a smaller more intimate venue in the front bar. In the evening a few of us strolled up the road to the hall for a Bush Dance and then back again to the pub for more music late into the night. Judging by the crowd that turned up to listen, and the long list of great local singers, musicians and songwriters, Colbinabbin and district is well and truly on the musical map. Bands, solo singers, duos, children and teenagers performing and of course Uncle Derm still singing and playing strong at 96 years of age! It was a great day and night of music. More details and lots of photos to follow.
