Duke's Place - 28th November 2014
In 1954 Alex joined the cast of the musical Reedy River and he subsequently performed with The Bushwhackers, (founders of the Bush Music Club) and when they broke up in 1957, with the Rambleers.
From the late 1950s onwards he became a travelling musician, singing
and playing a variety of instruments at clubs, pubs and theatres, and
later at schools and on radio and television. Alex & his wife
Annette have have taken their Australian Folk Theatre to thousands of schools over the decades.

The Bush Music Club was founded in 1954 to collect, publish and popularise Australia’s traditional songs, dances, music, yarns, recitations and folklore and to encourage the composition of a new kind of song - one that was traditional in style but contemporary in theme.
