Duke's place, named after our honoured early member Harold 'Duke'
Tritton (1886-1965), is the place to go once a month for a great
night of Australian songs in concert and session. Duke was a
powerful singer who supplied BMC with many songs he had learnt in
his younger days while working as a shearer and at other bush jobs.
He was also a songwriter and poet giving us songs that have entered
the tradition such as Sandy Hollow Line and Shearing in the Bar.

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.
