Frances lies just a bit south and east of Adelaide. There's an Allan's Music & Billy Hyde store in Adelaide where you might learn of some jams, sessions, or concerts. Give a wave at my daughter and her family for me while there. Thanks. |

08 Feb 11 - 07:43 AM (#3091046) Subject: RE: Folk music in Adelaide/South Australia From: GUEST,kenny A couple of years ago, there were regular instrumental [ mainly ] sessions in "Dan O'Connell's" on a Tuesday night [ check the day, it had changed ]. Very friendly bunch of people. There was a more serious Irish session in "The Governor Hindmarch" 0n a Friday night. The Adelaide Irish Society used to hold classes followed by a session in the Irish Centre on Monday nights. They have a website somewhere. I was made very welcome at all of these places, and they were extremely helpful in suggesting other similar events, sessions, folk clubs etc. |

08 Feb 11 - 09:39 AM (#3091112) Subject: RE: Folk music in Adelaide/South Australia From: Gallus Moll Thanks very much for the ideas and suggestions - apparently I am going to the Womadelaide (?) already - -the friends with whom I am staying. They have booked up a number of other events and activities for while I am there. However if there is are any opportunities to get to a session, club or concert that would be great. I am a singer (Scottish)- mainly traditional; also an intermediate fiddler (not taking it with me tho!) but I enjoy a wide range of types of folk music. Will certainly wave to Allan C's daughter and family if I see them - -?! |
