We are the Monaro Folk Society Tuesday Night Music Group. You can see some of us in the photo above at a Kids' Bush Dance. We meet each Tuesday in Canberra (hence the imaginative name), taking turns to host the sessions in our own homes. We generally consider ourselves to be somewhere between beginners and intermediate level musicians, but what we all love about this group is that we do not have to be afraid of making mistakes.

We play a variety of instruments including accordion, concertina, fiddle, banjo, bouzouki, mandolin, lagerphone, whistle, flute, recorder, percussion and guitar.

We normally play a few jigs, reels, polkas and hornpipes on any given night, but we are happy to try pretty much anything provided someone brings enough photocopies of the tune to go around (we tend to read tunes from music rather than play by ear).

From time to time we perform in public. In particular we ...

Put on bush dances for children - either in the woolshed or at local schools

Provide backing for 'Dancing in the Park' on Stage 88 in summer (December to February)

It does not cost anything to join in with us so if you think you would like to come along on Tuesday, why not call
