\n“The Rambling Bilbies”<\/strong> are a Western Australian based band that has burrowed through the music archives to present a variety of unplugged style of music genre hopping from self penned contemporary ballads through to almost all styles including acoustic folk\/rock, blues, Celtic, ballads, Oz, Country\/folk, jazz, 50\u00b4s-70\u00b4s R&B, etc. Some are well known favourites, others are obscure songs from our varied background and strange listening habits combining original material with classics and modern songs as well as a wide range of instrumentals. We have been performing together around WA for many years at clubs, festivals, schools, dances, concerts, birthday parties, etc.
\nWe can add an extra dimension to your show by teaching and calling a variety of bush\/folk dances ranging in difficulty from easy to more complex. As such we can provide great entertainment at your Bush Dance, party, corporate function, etc.
\nYou can contact us by email: rambling@thebilbies.com.au<\/a> or phone: 04 1890 8899<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
