This thread is a good place to start looking: Long-lived folk clubs? 60yrs? As an example, our local folk club in Newcastle, NSW is the Newcastle & Hunter Valley Folk Club There is a national folk organisation, the name of which is escaping me, but I'm sure someone here at Mudcat, e.g. Sandra in Sydney will pop in to this thread and tell us. |

About the Folk Federation Of South Australia -it seems to be defunct & their facebook page seems to have been hijacked by Qld builders! Trad and now is a national magazine available in various newsagents across the country, including the Rundle Mall. Folk Alliance Australia does not have a list of clubs, but it does list Festivals Australia wide Festival Calendar |

They posted extracts on line & I've often referred to their on-line member bios. I know a bloke from Adelaide who goes to folk & country venues, so there must be more than one. sandra |

I think there's maybe 3 left in Pert/fremantle, Plus a few open mike sessions and 3-4 shanty clubs scattered around the metro area. Cheers Bugsy |
