‘Immortal’ remembers and celebrates the extraordinarily talented people who have made a significant contribution to Australia’s folk scene over the decades – but who are no longer with us. People who have played a key role in expressing, and defining Australia’s changing cultural identity, and who have left a lasting legacy through their music, inspiration, knowledge and passion; performers, songwriters, collectors and inspirers.

Photos, video and audio capture their lives and their creative cultural contribution, providing an opportunity for remembering, and giving inspiration to the next generation.

Some early reactions:

• BRILLIANT! A cultural treasure of incalculable value.  I am moved almost beyond words.  (Phil Lobl)
• Wow! What a wonderful video!   Brilliant photos, brought back some great memories.  (Martyn Wyndham-Read)
• An amazing project!  What an emotional journey! How lucky are the present generation to have this wonderful tribute.  (Kate Delaney)

Some of you may have seen earlier drafts of the video, which I have screened at three folk festivals in recent months, accompanied by panel exploring issues of change and continuity within the folk scene and Australian culture, and by feedback which has been incorporated into the final version.

Thanks to the Troubadour Foundation for supporting this project with a grant.

I’d love you to have a look, click Like, and comment on the video. And please share it with anyone you know who might be interested in it.
Apologies for any cross postings.
