Some years ago Bruce wrote a song on the extraordinary story of Horace Watson's 1903 recordings of Tasmanian Fanny Cochrane Smith singing traditional Aboriginal songs. Read the story behind the song, and its impact. Watch video of Bruce's webinar on this story. Bruce gives live presentations on this story at libraries, community festivals and music festivals. For more information, download the brochure.  Bruce is currently producing a video tribute to the greats of the Australian folk scene over the last five or six decades who are no longer with us. Right now he is doing the background work for the video, which will use available photographs, video and audio recordings to capture the essence of each of the individuals included. It will celebrate many of extraordinarily talented people who are no longer with us, but who have left a lasting legacy through their music, inspiration, knowledge and passion. Performers, songwriters, collectors and inspirers have all played a key role in defining and shaping Australia’s changing cultural identity. Thanks to the Troubadour Foundation for supporting this project. 
It will be ready in early 2025.
