Heritage Ball History on BMC Website 

Subscription Ball History on BMC website  The Bush Music Club Subscription Balls were started in 1978 and there have been more than 25 Balls since then.

Dave Johnson's Heritage Ensemble website  The Heritage Ensemble was initiated in 1983 to perform for the inaugural Heritage Ball held in the Sydney Town Hall in 1983. This event was held by the Bush Music Club in conjunction with the National Trust and the Royal Historical Society of NSW, with sponsorship provided by Caltex Australia. Musicians from a number of Sydney based bush bands were invited to perform.
