Welcome

Welcome to the new blog for the Maleny Tunes Class and Ceili Band. 
During the few years since Nicole Murray first started the Maleny Tunes Class, students who were new to their instruments have progressed to playing regularly in sessions and, from time to time, for dances at festivals around the Maleny area. 
This new blog reflects that progress and the change in our group's title.
 
Our most recent gig was the very successful IDAHO concert at which we backed Cath Ovenden.  A picture of that event is the header to this page.  Cath had spent several weeks prior to the concert teaching us some of the many Australian traditional dance tunes which she has collected over many years.  Thank you Cath, that was so much fun!
 
The next dance will be coming up soon at the Caloundra Celtic Festival weekend to be held at the Caloundra Power Boat Club from 13th to 15th June.  We will be playing on Saturday afternoon.  Of course our Wednesday meetings will continue as usual with the emphasis being on practicing old and new sets for that event.  Hope to see you there!
