Boyup Brook Country Music Festival 2008

Boyup Brook right on track for 23 years

The Boyup Brook Country Music Club is looking forward to welcoming you to our 23rd Country Music Festival, which is to be held on the 14th, 15th,16th &  17th February, in the shady parkland venue on the banks of the beautiful Blackwood River. Things are shaping up extremely well for the Boyup Brook Country Music Festival & the Boyup Ute & Truck Muster.  We’re in the final stages of fine tuning everything, right down to making sure enough camping grounds are available for the number of people that have indicated their attendance.

The huge task of co-ordinating the West Australian Country Music Awards and Festival plus the Ute & Truck Muster and the Bush Poets in Boyup Brook is a daunting project when you consider that everyone volunteers their time to help this magnificent event grow. But years of experience, the continuing growth and the success of previous festivals has now demanded that we include another day permanently into the programme.

The program now starts Thursday night at the Boyup Brook Hockey Oval, with a performance of fun and hilarity from the Topp Twins from New Zealand, (sponsored by Festivals Australia) who will have you laughing your socks off!

On Friday afternoon there will be a free concert behind the Tourist Centre. You just need to bring along a fold up chair, a hat and a good sense of humour. The Friday night concert gets under way at 6.00pm and continues till late and will include performances by West Australian Award finalists. Saturday morning will bring you to the town centre of Boyup Brook where there will be entertainment galore in a carnival type atmosphere with children’s activities, markets, bands, buskers and heaps more.

The line up of artists for the weekend is HUGE; with well over 150 artists. International  guest artists include the Topp Twins, National Artists include Adam Brand, The McClymonts, Tom Curtain, Laura Downing, Amber Lawrence,  plus top West Australian artists like Ronni Rae Rivers, Country Horizon, Chelsea Basham and many, many more.

One very affordable ticket can admit you to a world of music and entertainment

for an evening, a day, or a whole weekend.
