Again, several rehearsals for the Sydney Banjo Band have now slipped by and the band continues to sound really good and tight rhythmically....
Certainly worth a visit if you are in the area on a rehearsal evening...see below for future dates...
NOTE...our rehearsal dates are now on a Thursday....
Strangely July's rehearsal was a small affairs with some 7 stringed instruments playing...but we bounced back in August with 12 banjos, a guitar, piano, bass,tuba and snare drums....
But as always a great social night for those playing and appreciated by the small regular group of audience members...

A site for nominally 4 string banjo, but others such as 5 string banjo,guitar,mandolin,ukelele also visit. Started in January 2009 by US banjoist Ted Gerome of the Pittsburgh Banjo Club, a frequent visitor to Sydney for some 8 years who urged John Wilson and Dennis Quinlan to form a band, it has slowly grown with now monthly rehearsals and occasional paid gigs....visitors welcome and the evening is free..
