Bendigo Folk Club

Our list of songs and tunes, bent our own way . . . . .

During January and February 2006 the Club expanded our events calendar to include Session Evenings where the participants can come along and learn and play common songs and tunes.

This page lists our repertoire of songs and tunes, available for members and friends to access and learn. We see this as a great way to learn an instrument, or take your existing skills to the next step.
