Does anybody know of a Melbourne Based Bush Band from the 60's & 70's called "the Southern Stars" ?

I met last night, a former member who is in his late 80's, apparently they had a EP record at some stage.

Cant comment on the 60's but dont recall hearing of this lot from the 70's onwards in the Melb folk clubs and pubs. Certainly no bush band by that name could be googled. That said Melbourne has certainly had its fair share of 'em over the years to the present. Would you be able to get any more info from your source? If so that might help. Oh and one more possibility is there any possibility they might have 'morphed' into another band? Good luck with your search!

Cheers,

I've contacted friends in Victorian Folk Music Club (est. 1959 as Bush Music Club Victoria) to see if they can help
