Jackadder’s Music Club was formed in August 2003 at the time that the West Australian Folk Federation was discussing ways to promote Folk Music in the community. 

The club encourages ‘live’ family entertainment and is run by Carmel and her husband Eric.     

Jackadder’s has grown since its inception and an average of 50 people attend each month.  There is a great variety of both professional and amateur performers taking part and often young performers are included in the afternoon’s line-up. It is a great opportunity for like minded musicians to meet up, build friendships and share their love of music.  

People of all ages enjoy the shows and are encouraged to join in by the performers. Our oldest performer to date was eighty nine and the youngest seven.  All styles of music are encouraged and verse is also popular at the club.

There have been a number of highlights.  The Mitguards were a popular duo from Manitou Springs, Colorado, USA.  They presented a hybrid of American roots, traditional folk, country, swing and bluegrass.  Instruments included acoustic guitar, banjo and mandolin. Their raw and haunting harmonies had the large audience spellbound and their CD’s sold like hot cakes.  

Local group The Ballpoint Penguins with their close harmonies, humour and excellent stage presentation have been a favourite with the audience.  Dry comic songs and original material were presented with verve and wry style.
