November 5, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Murgon’s big celebration of country music is over for another year after a huge weekend at the South Burnett PCYC.<\/p>\n

Caravans and campervans started turning up at the Murgon Showgrounds early last week, and by Friday afternoon there were 238 vans on site with more expected.<\/p>\n

The professional entertainment took to the stage after the official opening on Friday, but there had been three-and-a-half days of performances by walk-up artists ahead of that.<\/p>\n

Walk-up artists also banded together to close the event on Sunday.<\/p>\n

On Thursday night, a dance featuring old-time and bush music attracted 280 people to the dance floor.<\/p>\n

The PCYC’s main auditorium was packed again for Friday’s opening ceremony, which this year featured a very short pink ribbon and a hedge trimmer! (see video below).<\/p>\n

But even more people packed in for the headline concert on Saturday night which featured multiple Golden Guitar winner Adam Harvey.<\/p>\n

An estimated 1000 people filled the hall for the show.<\/p>\n

The Murgon Music Muster is organised by the Rotary Club of Murgon and always provides an economic boost to local businesses.<\/p>\n

This year the profits from the event will be distributed to\u00a0the Royal Flying Doctor Service, Southern Cross Care Castra and Blue Care South Burnett.<\/p>\n

Organisers are already planning next year’s Muster which will be held from October 31-November 3 and will feature Tania Kernaghan and Tracy Coster.<\/p>\n
