December 29th, 2024Gordon Gypsies headed to Daylesford this New Years Eve

The Gordon Gypsies are a quartet of talented young musos from Gordon, Victoria playing a lively eclectic mix including Gypsy-jazz,  Irish, folk and Middle Eastern melodies.

Armed with violin, guitar, tin whistle, harmonica, bodran and vocals they’re aiming to get NYE revellers singing and dancing with their toe-tapping tunes as part of Daylesford’s NYE Parade and Gala event that’s set to see out the final hours of 2024 this Tuesday December 31.

The band formed in early January of 2023 from a group of young musicians who all had one thing in common – a love of Irish music. 

Throughout 2024 they’ve performed at various markets, festivals, and private events throughout the Hepburn Shire and surrounds, expanded their set list and even started writing original music of their own. 

They are inspired by artists such as Loreena McKennit, The Dubliners, and Django Reinhardt. 

Revellers who get along to see out  2024 in Daylesford on New Year’s Eve will be able to get up and dancing to the tunes of these talented young musos at the Community Bank Daylesford District Kids Corner from 6pm.
