Dear friends of the Eudlo Music Nights Festival, Owing to Covid-19 the festival will not run in 2020. Surely however all will get back on track and our festival will run again in 2021. Do please watch this space or join us at https://www.facebook.com/eudlomusicnights Welcome to the Home page of the Eudlo Music Nights (EMN), an overnight music event held in the small SE Queensland village of Eudlo (just over an hour north of Brisbane).
People sometimes lament the lack of opportunity to attend small music festivals that cross popular stylistic boundaries (folk, blues, jazz, country, rock, world, classical etc), are family friendly and allow people to let their hair down a bit – dance and party, and camp the night rather than worry about a late night drive home.
The grounds at Wominjeka Park (corner of Highlands and Mossybank Roads, Eudlo), which are managed by the Eudlo Hall and Recreational Grounds Association Inc, provide just the venue for this sort of event, and the Glasshouse Musos are proud to be able to work with them in coordinating the entertainment for it. The inaugural EMN festivals were held in April and October 2018, and April and October 2019. Short clips with moments from the events can be found on our "Videos" page. Photos, artists and programs from all four festivals can be found under the "Past EMN" page. The festival, held over a weekend, encourages locals, families and of course musicians to take part. There are 2 stages running for the festival - the Shed stage and the Paddock stage, and workshops and jams are held in the undercover area in front of the Pony Shed. Music is the feature of our festival, but we include other activities: A Poet's Breakfast, Chess with a Difference, star gazing, bird watching, yoga, a maypole and salsa dancing session, and children's activities such as percussion fun, along with open mics, unplugged jams, vocal and ukulele workshops, a cajon building and playing presentation, and a guitar repair ands building presentation). There will be a studio recording prize at the Sound Space in Peachester for an original artist who performs at the Eudlo Songwriters concerts.
The Eudlo Music Nights has been created by musicians for musicians and lovers of music. We are a friendly event and welcome you coming along and taking part!

Contact: eudlomusicnights@gmail.com We’d also like to thank Sunshine Coast Council for providing recent assistance in refurbishment of the facilities at Wominjeka Park.
It is all the behind the scenes work which makes allows events such as ours to happen. Thank you to all who have given so freely of their talents and time! APOLOGIES REGARDING WEBSITE: We have had to upgrade to a new version of our website software and the many third party plugs ins that come with it. At this point one or two things aren't working perfectly (specifically links, photos and videos) but rather than not update the website we are going with a less than 100% functional website. Our apologies.
