Our Club Nights occur monthly and provide members and guests with an opportunity to share their music in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. These night's attract novices performing for the first time outside of the comfort of their bedrooms, and seasoned artists. Many friends are made and ongoing collaborations are established.

Kate Burke makes a long awaited return to the Bendigo Folk Club Stage.

Kate and Ado Barker are world-class performers of traditional Irish music. Well known as members of seminal Australian Irish-trad band Trouble in the Kitchen, they spent 2008 touring in Japan, France, the UK and Ireland, and along the way have built a firm reputation as crowd favourites.

Increasingly in demand as a duo, Kate and Ado bring the sounds of traditional Irish fiddle, concertina and guitar together with traditional and contemporary songs from Australia and beyond. Their performances are lively, energetic and engaging - definitely an act not to be missed!
