From February 2005:

The BFC have received a letter from Pearl Heenan. Pearl was inspired to write to us after she read one of the Bendigo Folk Club publicity pieces in the Bendigo press. The letter gives a great insight into the Bendigo music scene of the past and especially the earlier Bendigo folk venues and contributors. The letter was addressed to our Vice President, Elisha Davis and has been reproduced here with Pearl's kind permission.

BFC member Simon Dillon spent 6 days in early January attending the Lake School of Celtic Music, Song and Dance in Koroit. This sound like a great event for those with a thirst for knowledge and skills. Check out his report

From June 2005:

Last year's ABC Radio Fresh Air competition generated over 650 entries across Australia. Twelve tracks have been chosen for national airplay on ABC Local Radio, Radio National and dig (the ABC's internet radio).
Incredibly Bendigo artists managed to fill 3 of the 12 tracks selected ... and what is more BFC members figure prominently in the list. Our very own Aaron Wales was selected with his song "Take Me, I'm Yours". The local band without a genre, voicepopfoible, who performed for us in the cellar in April, were also selected for their song "Pow Kazam". BFC President Mark Jackson and Aaron Wales are known to have close associations with this band. Finally Jamie Roberts song "T-Shirt" was also selected. It's high time we had Jamie along to perform.

July 2005 saw the Club relocate to the Park View Hotel.

The message seemed to get around that the corner of View and High Streets was the location to head for on the 3rd Friday of July as we had a good audience turn out.
Many enjoyed the magnificent tasting (but reasonably priced) food. The acoustics were good and the atmosphere great.
