In 1989 Chris Kempster published 'The Songs of Henry Lawson', which became the standard anthology of tune settings for Lawson poetry. Beautifully produced with words and music, accompanied by photos and information about the poems themselves, the book has been out of print for some years and is still much in demand ...


Nineteen years later and following two years work by a dedicated team the Second Edition has been published. It was launched at the Port Fairy Folk Festival with a very successful concert (audience 1000) and will be launched again at the National Folk Festival in Canberra over the Easter weekend. The New edition adds forty pages to the original collection with the new tunes that have been written for Lawson verse over the past 29 years. The new edition is priced at $35
