The National Bluegrass & Traditional Country Music Convention is entirely produced and managed by dedicated volunteers of the registered not-for-profit group, The Harrietville Bluegrass and Traditional Country Music Convention Inc.
We wish to thank the The Alpine Shire for their input. Also the sponsorship and support of the Bluegrass & Traditional Country Music Society of Australia and its State representatives for helping make this event possible. Special thanks and recognition to sponsor, Ian Alexander and his love of old time music.
We also sincerely thank the musicians, bands and other volunteers without whom this would not be the unique event that it is! |
