Greetings Yarra Junction Fiddlers Convention attendees both past and future. At long last I can announce the dates for Fiddlers 2026. At the behest of the Camp Eureka co-operative we have agreed to move the festival to a little later in the year. This is to alleviate some of the fire concerns and allow the co-op a little more time to prepare the site. The date chosen for 2026 is March 27-29. We hope this will cause little consternation but be assured all the usual features of the Fiddlers Convention will remain. We thank you for your understanding in this matter and ask you to pass on this information to anyone who may be interested. I look forward to seeing everyone in March next year.
Regards Mark Pottenger
The Yarra Junction Fiddlers' Convention is Australasia's
biggest and oldest running festival/party for players of
bluegrass, string band, old timey, good timey, Cajun
music and their friends and relations.
It is not just about fiddles, but as Gid Tanner said,"the
fiddle drives the band".
Banjos, guitars, bass, mandolins, dobros, autoharps and
even Cajun accordions get a look in too - but no electric
instruments (sorry Richard), and no drums. Concertinas
and mouth- harps? Of course. And lots of dancing.
