 The
August Troubadour Weekend is two and a half days of pure indulgence
for musiclovers of all ages, in particular baby boomers who cut
their teeth on the music of the folk revival of the '60s and '70s,
and all the Anglo Celtic, Australian and American country folk music
and their many derivatives that inspired so many of us to own guitars,
even if we never really mastered the playing of them!
The Weekend is a continuing celebration of the great music
of both Australian and international artists that was presented
at Melbourne's Troubadour music venue from 1978 to 1990, and each
year it showcases both top artists from that
era and some of the best of today's new performers.
The music
and entertainment is almost non-stop, except at meal times and in
the wee small hours. But there is space and opportunity for a break,
in our lounge bar and cafe, in the Dining Room bar around meal times,
and in the 160 acres of park, and bush tranquility of Campaspe Downs.
See map
The entertainment is principally on one main
stage in a cosy 250 seat venue, and quality breakfast, lunch &
dinner is served in the Campaspe Downs Dining Room (advance meal
bookings need to be made before the weekend) Wines, beers, coffee,
tea, hot chocolate etc and finger food snacks are also available
all day and evening in the concert venue's lounge bar.

booking and ticketing details click here.
Location
Campaspe Downs is 7 kms south west of Kyneton on the Trentham
Road, between Kyneton and Tylden, and approx. 85 kms from Melbourne
via the Calder Freeway, Woodend and Tylden.
