I'll be visiting Melbourne for work for at least a week at the end of September this year. Anybody in that area have any suggestions for interesting musical events, clubs, jams, sessions, etc. Not sure I'll bring an instrument with me from Scotland but I may if there are things happening.

Thanks!

Richard

Having met and jammed with Zen on a number of occasions , I would trust him with ANY of my instruments - Offer him a loan and bribe him to YOUR session or club !!

Hi Sandra,

I have quite a wide interest in music. I've played Irish and Scottish traditional music since I was young but am also interested in playing and listening to folk, blues, Appalachian/old-timey and some types of jazz.

Best wishes,

Richard (Zen)

I'm refreshing this thread as I'll be heading down to Melbourne in a few weeks. I've had a couple more suggestions for music places from Melbourne singer Chloe Hall but any others would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance!

I believe there is a Folk Club in Geelong, about one hour from Melbourne. Even further away from me in Yorkshire.
