DANKS STREET ECLECTIC MUSIC COLLECTIVE

Originally instigated by Barry O’Neill in 2024, we are a group of diverse musicians who meet weekly to enjoy making music. We’ve covered songs from artists such as Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Nancy Sinatra, Neil Young and Vika & Linda Bull, while also exploring the occasional musical theatre or foreign language piece. Our repertoire reflects the wide-ranging skills and musical interests of band members whose instruments currently include voice, guitar, ukelele, flute, harmonica, keyboards and percussion. Members do not need to read music but should have some basic skill with their instrument or voice.

Mostly, we have a lot of fun together combining our talents and ideas, and anyone is welcome to come and listen and/or join.

REQUIREMENT: Own instrument.

FACILITATOR: Dorelle Davidson has a background in design but no real schooling in music. She joined the group in 2025 with her accordion and Persian frame drum and really enjoys the collaboration with other members. The group operates as a democratic collective, and Dorelle is pleased to serve as official co-ordinator.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.
  • OR is the course shown as FULL?
    • Click on WAITLIST.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.

Via the Office: after bookings have opened
