There is FREE parking either inside the park or right next to it. You can bring your own picnic and/or sample the food, wine and ale available from within the park. If it is too sunny or there is a little rain you can shelter under the massive trees or giant marquees. Within the park you are naturally protected from any wind. All you really need to bring with you is a hat to protect you from the sun and a coat for later at night when the sun goes down and your own chair or rug to sit on. We play rain or shine!
Please note:  DO NOT bring your pets - NO DOGS ALLOWED!
 
How to get there: Mossvale Park is a hidden oasis, you hardly notice it from the main road. Which is why it is such a delight as you enter the park and see the beauty of it unfold within. Mossvale Park is just off the Strzelecki Highway between Leongatha and Mirboo North. If you are coming from the South, East or West of Victoria then all you need to do is head to the town of Leongatha in South Gippsland and follow the signs to the park. It is approx. 14kms from Leongatha on the Strzelecki Highway heading towards the small town of Mirboo North. If you are driving from the North, then drive to Mirboo North and follow the Strzelecki Highway through the town (towards Leongatha) and it is approx. 7kms out of Mirboo North.
Mossvale Park is a 2 hour drive from Melbourne in South Gippsland. If you coming to Mossvale Park and wish to stay in the region for the night or a few days then there are many beautiful places to stay. The beaches of South Gippsland are some of the best in the world and the park is just over half an hour from beachside towns such as Inverloch, Sandy Point and Cape Paterson. Dotted throughout the region are a number of attractive B&B's with great views of the gently rolling hills of South Gippsland.

Whilst the music at Mossvale Park will have a blues and rock flavour in January it will turn more alt-country on Saturday March 13th. Multi-award winning Australian alternative country singer-songwriter Kasey Chambers with partner Shane Nicholson, father Bill Chambers as well as guests, will headline at Mossvale.

 

Receiving praise across the globe, 2010 will be Australia’s first chance to see and hear the alluring Eilen Jewell and her band. Eilen Jewell puts her own beautiful stamp on old country, folk and blues, her music has the languorous quietude of Gillian Welch or Norah Jones, but there is something more direct, almost in your face, about her stark, neo traditional melodies, subdued vocals, and confident, slow-swaying groove. 
Also appearing at the March Mossvale will be American Mary Gauthier: “With songwriting as powerful as hers, there's no need to go looking for qualifiers…She's a unique, intrinsically valuable musical voice. And there's never a surplus of those.” - Los Angeles Times. Also performing will be Australian bands, The Junes featuring Suzannah Espie and Sarah Carol, and rising stars on the Australian music scene, Sal Kimber & the Rollin’ Wheel.

PAUL KELLY, OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW, ASH GRUNWALD, JEFF LANG, PRESTON REED, DOUG MACLEOD, RORY ELLIS, VAN WALKER

3 inches of rain. Cause for complaint or celebration? CELEBRATION seemed to be the overwhelming verdict of the record crowd at Mossvale Park on Saturday. What a marvellous crowd it was - you stayed and are to be congratulated. ALL the musicians performing on the day were inspired by you and commented on your good humour and fortitude. And they responded by giving you some exceptional performances.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers that made the day happen and then pulled it off in the rain and the mud: The Lyrebird, Prom Caost and Mirboo North Arts Council volunteers, our wonderfrul MC Mr Brian Wise, the amazing sound crew, Gary Yeomans, Ray the mini skip man, APEX volunteers, Leongatha Scouts, Berry's Creek CFA and the inspiring O'Loughlin family. Thank you one and all.

See you next year!

Saturday 12th May

Ash Grunwald

It is too simplistic to describe Ash Grunwald as just a blues musician. While it's true that his music is steeped in the delta blues tradition of the legendary acoustic musicians who proliferated in pre-World War Two America's deep South and the giants of electric blues who shaped rock and roll, it's the young Victorian's willingness to combine these influences with grooves and sounds common in contemporary music that sets him apart.
