Jump to navigationJump to searchNorm McConnell, Echlin South, Vic, provided details of some of the Australian tunes in this archive, as described by John Meredith.
"Norm was born in 1905 and has lived around Echlin South for most of his life ... He taught himself to play the fiddle, and almost all of his tunes had been learnt from other players over the years. Most of his tunes were known by the name of the person he learnt it from." -- (adapted from) J Meredith, R Covell, P Brown, Folk Songs of Australia Vol 2, UNSW Press, 1987, p310-11.
There are photos and recordings of him in the National Library of Australia in Canberra, search the NLA catalog for "Norm McConnell".
