This evening was the last official Bush Orchestra rehearsal for Term 1, 2011. Keep posted though, as there may well be a couple of 'informal' gatherings at yet to be announced locations around Newport over the next couple of weeks. Why? Well, with the National Folk Festival just around the corner, we don't want to get rusty just before we all head up north to Canberra. Keep your eyes on your email inbox for details.

We spent the evening playing through most of the Victorian repertoire that we'll be doing up in Canberra. We also managed to press gang a poor chap who only turned up to by a fiddle from Michael on Ebay!! Good on you Garry. You not only scored a great fiddle, but stuck around, jammed on a bunch of our tunes and even entertained us all with your lovely version of 'Click Go the Shears'. I'm sure you never expected all of that when you hit the 'Buy' button on Ebay!
