Music and more at ‘muso night’

PEOPLE play, sing, listen, recite and read at Balnarring Bowls Club’s muso night.

Everybody is welcome to get up on stage or just be part of the audience and enjoy the experience.

The live music night started about 20 years ago and, apart from promoting and supporting artists, has raised thousands of dollars for charity.

Entry is a small donation, and the night supports music programs at local schools where underprivileged students get the opportunity to learn music.

Spokesperson Jenny Taylor, who helps run the night with musician Bob McGaughey, says the night is always special because it gives people with an interest in music an opportunity to perform, experiment and connect with an audience.

“It’s always such a great, supportive night – it’s a great community that makes this happen, and people come from far and wide to be here,” she said.

“We have our regular players and performers, but we always get new talent which is always welcome. It also gives people of all ages a chance to get up on stage and get encouragement and a taste of performance.

“We have singers, poets, story tellers and more – old people, young people, in-between - performing is the main ingredient.”

Taylor says anyone with a desire to perform is welcome.

The muso night runs every Wednesday from 7pm at the Balnarring Bowls and Social Club, 12 Strathmore Road, Balnarring.
