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.

Concert Party, February 2016
I needed a photo of our "band" for a festival application, so I took my camera along & started snapping -
Mrs Mopps
Rick Hull
Cliff Grant, retired opera singer with Rick Hull
Cliff singing opera to Rick's banjo
Pete Cahill
John Burch (ex-Reedy River Bushmen), who recently returned to BMC after an absence of several decades talking to fellow Reedy River Bushman Ralph Pride.
Sharyn & Rick pondering on the ramp
John Poleson's piano accordion case, repository of some very interesting posters & set lists - c.1990!
Moira Cowie & her flute
An excellent picture, but they wanted a square one!
back - Mark Poleson, John Burch, Terry Pybus, Rick Hull, Pete Cahill, Sharyn Mattern, Eric Eisler, Kerry Doherty, Dave Moir, Ralph Pride.
front - John Poleson, Ann Maher with 50+ year old family lagerphone, Karen Fong, Gail Copley, Moira Cowie, Mariamma Mitchell, Frank Maher.
another good one ...
... this one lacked the gravity of an official portrait!
The picture sent with our application.
back - Terry Pybus, Rick Hull, Pete Cahill, Sharyn Mattern, Eric Eisler, Kerry Doherty, Dave Moir, Ralph Pride.
front - Ann Maher with 50+ year old family lagerphone, Karen Fong, Gail Copley, Moira Cowie, Mariamma Mitchell, Frank Maher.
