THE GHOST MUSIC ARCHIVES

                                           Unknown band at Elisha William Gale Mine, Hill End?, NSW, c. 1860

We've had a selection of ghost music on this blog for a while. It has grown over the years and so we've decided to feature the Australian items as a separate blog at 

https://archivesghostmusic.blogspot.com/

The existing articles - which include some non-Australian items and links -  will stay on Verandah Music at

VERANDAH MUSIC AT THE 2018 NATIONAL FOLK FESTIVAL

We're back at the National this year after a sold-out performance of The Music of Mawson's Men and a good session on Tassie traditions on the Sunday afternoon.

At the National we'll be presenting another Tassie session with the help of a few friends as well as a new show on crime in folklore, called 'Crime, Cops and Crooks' (plenty of material there). 

If you're at the National, come and join us:
 

 Crims, Crooks and Cops - Trocadero  31/03/2018 3.30-4.30pm

Tassie Tunes and Tarradiddles - Trocadero 01/04/2018 10:00 - 11.00am

Rob will be doing a few other gigs, including:

Trocadero  30/03/2018 13:00 - 1:00
Tales and Tunes of the Darwin Stringbands

plus a few Live at the Lounge interviews

And don't forget the National Folklore Conference at the National Library on March 29. Entry is free (but registration to g.seal@curtin.edu.au) and there will be a great lunchtime concert featuring the Darwin Rondalla Stringband.

Does it get any better!?
