MAKING THE MUSIC LAST LONGER
We enjoy Girgarre Moosic Muster and Jigarre Jammin’ so much that some of us have got together to make the music last longer! These groups perform around the area, although some are currently in recess due to the pandemic.
The Pure Drop
The Pure Drop plays songs from the Australian and Celtic traditions of hardship, love or murder and mayhem, plus some more light-hearted themes. A group of seven very active retirees, available for Aged Care, Fundraising concerts, Morning and Afternoon Melodies. Lively and loud. Wallace on fiddle, harmonica; Irene on guitar, accordion; Shane on banjo, guitar, whistle; Pete on harp, guitar, mandolin; Geoff on fiddle; Bernadine on baritone ukulele; Lyn on bass ukulele, mandolin.

Jigarre Ukuleles
Due to restrictions, we are temporarily meeting in the Kyvalley Park, corner of Scobie and Sinclair Roads. We're still having fun, you're welcome to join us.
Also known as J-Ukes, this fun group meets at the Girgarre Community Cottage in Olympic Street. Beginners to advanced and every stage in between, our aim is to have fun and learn something with other people who share our passion for our small instrument. Soprano, concert, baritone, tenor, bass, we have them all. We come from a wide area around Girgarre.
For $2, the Cottage folk welcome us and we chat, play, learn, laugh and have a cuppa on the 1st, 3rd and, sometimes, 5th Wednesday every month from February to November, from 1.30pm to 4pm. If you would like to join us, contact Lyn on 5859 0297 or email kenlyn23@outlook.com or just turn up, you’ll be most welcome!
