GillBilly Fest

It is year three of the annual gathering of Gillbillies! 

Gillbilly is two full days of music and fun hosted by the The Old Type Music Society. A perfect mix of old-time music, jamming, food, good times and plenty of free time for fishing on the Elk River. Not into fishing? bring your bike, hike or do some busking downtown in beautiful Fernie, BC. More information about the schedule and format here.

Confirmed performer/instructors are John Lowell, Nomad Jones , and Paul Silveria and Clayton & Joelle, plus more to come! More details about the performers here.
