A little about Jammalongs founders 
​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 model 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.

JAMMALONG in Canberra - ceased in March 2024.
Micheal and Dianne hosted it twice a month for 14 years and have decided to retire their session so they can go busking when and where they choose.
