G'day Member Marcus,

You go to the head of the page and find "Personal Pages" in the Mudcat header. Click here and the rest is self explanatory.

If you want to tap into Canberra fiddlers, try Graham McDonald's site (which was called "Graham's Folk Things" but seems to have changed to (McDonald?) Stringed Instruments. Anyway it is on the same ISP as the National Festival and his is "gramac@spirit.com.au ... indeed he is the new coordinator of the National Festival, but he has for the past several years organised "The Australian Fiddle Orchestra" (a loose collection of everyone with a fiddle at the National), to do a performance at the end of each festival.

Graham also has an interest in new material (he brought out a collection of newly written tunes in "folk" styles a few years back) and would have views of available musicians from all his perspectives - as musician, festival coordinator, group arranger and luthier (luths - not fiddles).

Regards,

Bob Bolton
