The Jolly Jumbucks were formed in 1991 as a means to create lively traditional Irish, English and Australian music for our own enjoyment.



In the beginning we played for family and friends, but soon after we were asked to play for bush dances for special occasions.

.

Our first bush dance was for a band member's family re-union in 1991. We followed that the same year by playing at the East Ringwood 1st Saturday of the month Bush Dance, where we have become one of the many bands playing there over the years.



1991 The original members included,

Maree, Bill and Katy were the core group,  with Jacinta, Naomi, Kate and Colleen, ( Maree and Bill's four daughters.) As the girls grew up and left the band others have been included.

2006 Members included,
