When I first discovered the wealth of traditional music in my own backyard, Bob Bolton seemed to be at every folk festival and Bush Music Club event with his button accordion and camera in tow. He shared his knowledge of the music and musicians freely and his Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017 was well deserved. Thank goodness he was documenting all those gatherings and now his photos will be a permanent record of many Aussie folk performers no longer with us.
RIP Bob
