Bruce from Bathurst 50 years of the Australian National Folk Festival (41) RE: 50 years of the Australian National Folk Festival 03 Apr 16

This exercise became a diary of my adult life. National Folk Festivals were (and remain) a high priority, starting in 1972.

1972 to 1977 - Uni and early working years. Such freedom! I attended all these Nationals.

1978 to 1981 - Saving for a house, so no spare money. Missed these years.

1982 - Sydney is my home town, so this was an easy one.

1983 - We were travelling o/s so we missed the National.

1984 to 1988 - Our son came to five Nationals before he turned six.

1989 to 1991 - The day job ruled my life and I missed these years.

1992 to 2016 - Every one, folks. Every one.

That makes 37 Nationals so far ... and I'm loving it.

Bruce
