" OUR GOAL "  

" ...to create a safe place where everyone can bring their musical gift to share.  We encourage others to do the same."  
Michael and Dianne Porter

JAMMALONG IN CANBERRA
Hello and welcome to
​
"Jammalong"
​Established in 2010

Michael and Dianne Porter host the regular monthly 'Jammalong in Canberra' and support the work of reclaiming public parks for acoustic music.  

The JAMMALONG is FREE and is acoustic music for every level of musician!  

 
Participation is more than Perfection !

A little about the hosts 
​Michael and Dianne Porter

Picture
Michael (banjo, fiddle and vocals) and Dianne (guitar, vocals and bass) are singer songwriters and members of the Bluegrass & Traditional Country Music Society of Australia.  They like bluegrass and country/folk music.    

Michael and Dianne developed the Jammalong so they could share music with other people on a regular basis.  When their lounge room at home proved too small they decided a public park is the space to be in so why not reclaim them for acoustic music. It is big enough to allow musicians and their instruments to spread out.  

"Our goal is to create a safe place where everyone can bring their musical gift to share.  We encourage others to do the same."  Michael and Dianne Porter
