"This has been an interesting thread. A couple of points - Pam and Norm Merrigan had a bush band in the 80's called "The Bush Bandicoots". It included the great and late Wagga percussionist/story teller/character Ted Simpson, and a fiddle player whose name escapes me. They won the national bush band competition in Tamworth about 1986."

I started thinking about who the fiddle player might have been. I can't be sure but the name Warwick Nottage (whom I knew from Adelaide but he lived in/near Albury in the period mentioned) was a ripper fiddler and may be the one involved.
