The Redlands Bluegrass Festival is on 14-16 July, in Redlands, Brisbane. They have jam sessions and lessons for beginners and more advanced players. Has anyone booked a session or attended this festival?

Some guys stayed up ALL NIGHT jamming. Yes. 24hrs non-stop after performing on stage. Anyone could join in. very informal.
	newbie plucker says: 5/10/2012 8:10:08 PM Thanks for your comment Grahame. I've booked a class and jam session, will be a first for me. I've only played on my own and for family until now, it's going to be a big learning curve!

	newbie plucker says: 6/27/2012 3:01:33 AM Hi Justin. I'm southside Brisbane, so works for me too. I've booked for the Saturday, classes and beginner jam. Looking forward to it, but I sure hope the weather improves!
	Lone says: 7/14/2012 4:17:37 AM How's the festival going? Make sure you give us a festival report when you get home. I went once a couple of years ago. I would have gone another time but I couldn't find any details about when it was on so I could book the time off work and no one replied to my messages I left on the contact number I found. So I stayed home and worked.

	Banjojustin says: 7/15/2012 5:25:13 AM Hey there newbie, for some reason the first email I got about another post in this thread was just now when Grum has posted. Didn't even get notified of Lone's post. Anyway, I'll add that I did indeed attend on the Saturday only and I had a ball. Hamish Davidson even had a pick of my banjo, which was great because I could actually hear what it sounds like from 'the other side' ha ha. I hope you got there and had a good time to. The bands performing were fantastic. It was a really enjoyable day, only part is because I was driving home which takes about an hour I left at 1am. I could've stayed all night and just played banjo! I'll certainly be heading along next year! Fingers crossed for no mud and rain though.
	newbie plucker says: 7/17/2012 3:45:21 AM Hi Guys, Yes it was lots of fun, I'll be back next year. I did the beginner's jam, but it was for real newbies, so will do the intermediate next time. How good were the hamburgers !! :)
