UPDATE - UPDATE - UPDATE

**************************************************************

Well, we did manage to start up again and had three great nights of music in April, May and June 2021. Unfortunately, we had another COVID outbreak in Sydney start up in late June and have had to cancel July and August 2021. Since the venue is unavailable in September, we plan to be back on SATURDAY 2 OCTOBER 2021 and continue on the first Saturday of each month through to December at the Annandale Community Centre, 79 Johnston St, Annandale, NSW.

We’ll have to adapt to whatever COVID Safe rules and recommendations are in place at the time, so we’ll keep you updated as things develop. We are registered as a COVIDSafe organisation and appreciate everyone working with us to implement our COVID-Safe plan when we do get together.

Eventually, we want to get back to the community gathering as described below, with workshops, jamming, socialising and an informal concert of acoustic bluegrass & traditional country music.

Check out our Sydney Get-together Facebook page for information about updates on the Get-Together and on other events taking place. 

************************************************************************

The Sydney Get-together is held on the first Saturday each month (April-Dec) in the Annandale Community Centre, 79 Johnston St, Annandale.

Safety In Numbers workshop: 6.30pm.

Open mic concert: 7.45pm.

Jamming all night!

Suggested entry donation is $6 BTCMSA members/conc, $8 others (under 18 free). All welcome.

Catch up with others who share your musical interests!

One of the aims is to encourage people to form bands and work on their performance skills. For the open mic concert, preference is given to bands who play bluegrass, old-time or traditional country music. The event is entirely acoustic*, with a great PA provided for the concert.

There are sometimes special concert nights where there is a visiting guest (eg. from the USA) or where one of the local bands is being featured. One thing for sure, it's a different show each month. Everyone volunteers their time.

*Acoustic means totally unplugged, no individual instrument amplifiers or DI's.

JAM SESSIONS ARE OPEN - you are welcome to join in and play bluegrass or old-time acoustic music.
