Ritual binds us to time and tradition, as the classic works of Banjo Patterson are entwined in Australian history. In contrast, revelry offers moments of exuberance, joy, liberty and transformation. Banjo night was the dream made reality by one man’s love of bush poetry. Expanding over the 20 years it has run for into two nights of local and professional poets and country music celebrations; seamlessly blending tradition with celebration to bring joy and colour to our lives.
