Mr. McClelland's Finishing School, Melbourne's longest running indie-pop dance party, is turning 16! 

That’s, like, really old!

Since 2008, legendary Melbourne DJ Andrew McClelland and friends have filled dance floors with one guiding philosophy: If you can dance to it, they'll play it. And on Saturday October 5th, they’re gonna do it all again at the magnificent Brunswick Ballroom.

It’s a rare thing indeed for any event to run for 16 years, and we’re excited to party with you all in celebration, so get your posse together and get ready to shake it!

"Mr. McClelland’s Finishing School is hands down one of the best dance parties in Melbourne." - Time Out.

Along with our mutual love of Western Swing Tom and the Moonee Valley Drifters have introduced me and many others to the joys and sorrows of the Louvin Brothers, Lefty Frizzell, George Jones and Brenda Lee. People even said when they played OUT ON THE WEEKEND” they bring the real roots of country to Melbourne. They bring the love of the song, a respect for the great feeling that country is capable of and the release created by dancing – all central to the origins of the music, its people’s music.  The band features John ‘Dude’ Brockton on drums/vocals, Rob Grenville vocals and the Gibson, Tom on Vocals, guitar, mandolin and accordion and Ian McDonald on dog house bass. They’ll be doing songs off

The MOONEE VALLEY DRIFTERS ‘Hill & Range Music’  and a whole “Bag” of styles

you will enjoy their new tunes too so come on out and see them play, have a dance, buy a drink and celebrate the music of Tom Forsell and the Moonee Valley Drifters.
