Sandra in Sydney recognise this Sally Sloane jig? (25) RE: recognise this Sally Sloane jig? 29 Jun 16

Ian, she is one of the many early members I wish I had known. I joined BMC in the mid 90s & could have met Merro & other early members but I was "just" dancing in those days & they were musicians, often retired so not spending time in Sydney. I met Chris Kempster in 2000 & in the past 10 years have become friends with members from the 50s & 60s. I learn so much from them.

I';m currently scanning early archival material & putting it up on the blog. Larger items will eventually be put on our website. If you are interested in history of the early days of the revival check out the blog articles under History, Singabout (journal of Australian folksong, 1956-1967), Maher collection, Woodland collection (Chris was a friend of Merro & went on collecting trips with him), individual members & events.
