For those who haven't heard, the Fiddlers is still on but the location has been shifted to Blackwood Mineral Springs Caravan Park due to the uncertainty of the fires.

Caravan Park is booked out already. Check the ABG Blog for further info and updates. The festival is actually being held in the Mineral Springs (not the park) and there are apparently campsites in the Wombat state forest. There are also caravan parks in Ballan, Kyneton and Bacchus Marsh.

The Festival Organizers, as a consequence, have reduced the entry fee from $40 to $20 for the weekend (or $10 per day) proceeds to Red Cross.  read more »

The High & Lonesome all-singing and dancing high in the saddle big band is a monthly Thursday regular at Irish Murphys until the end of the year.

They’ve built a bit of a following and the crowds just seem to be getting better, as are all the High & Lonesome boys as they pump out a pretty solid night of tight arrangements, fine instrumental work, three part vocal harmonies and a big driving bottom end as Yardup and Reinhart kick along a rocking rhythm on skins and doghouse bass.

With Chips, Chopsticks and Slim taking care of the singing and swapping instruments, Mr Russell Spiller can be found at his finest – totally winging it. The boys have pretty much decided they don’t need to rehearse with Russell as it just confuses him.

A great night of classic covers, folk, country and bluegrass done as only they can. Attracting punters of all ages to Geelong’s best roots music venue, Irish Murphys. The craic is 100.

High & Lonesome are playing at Lunch on Lorne - an early summer annual community day for the small army of workers and business families who keep Lorne the way Melbourne's Beach House folk like it.

All the fun of the fair with food and drink, a North vs South Tug o'War and localish music from the excellent senior local school bands, us, of course, and Dalriada.

Yes sir! It's almost time for the 4th Annual Guildford Banjo Jamboree!

The Banjoree is music festival featuring Traditional String Band music (and quite a bit of banjo playing) and will be held on the 14th, 15th & 16th September 2007 in the Guildford Town Centre, 10Km Sth of Castlemaine and 20Km Nth of Daylesford.


High & Lonesome will be there in force, camped out on the Rec Oval, and are playing the Sunday afternoon concert.
