Musician, songwriter, singer, author, playwright, actor, entertainer, folklorist & friend.

Alex was one of the founders of the Bush Music Club, Australia's first & oldest folk club est 1954.

Earlier this year he was badly injured in a fall, when he was recovering from the surgery he was singing/muttering one of his greatest hits Brumby Jack, so the medical staff sang it to him when he woke! Some of them might have attended his school shows, & when he was in rehab they played his songs in the gym!

I first met him at the National Folk Festival in 2000, & last saw him in 2022 when I peered over his shoulder taking pics of his sscrapbooks which are now in the Alex & Annette Hood Collection in the National Library

I had so many more questions to ask him about the early days.
