ABOUT US

The Koala Coast Music Club was formed in July 2007 by a bunch of people who like getting together to play music. All sorts of music. Whether it is sitting round and jamming together in a social atmosphere, or whether it is performing in competitions and festivals, or even entertaining as a group or as individuals at various concerts, clubs and other gigs - members can choose their own level of playing and singing.

Experienced musicians are available to back singers, tuition is available for those wanting to learn an instrument, and the club especially welcomes young people of all ages and encourages them to learn stagecraft, singing and instrumental techniques through the mentoring and support of our club.
