Cecil Chapman, Nulla Nulla, NSW, provided details of some of the Australian tunes in this archive, collected by Rob Willis.
There is a recording of Cecil Chapman interviewed by Rob Willis in the National Library of Australia in Canberra. In it, Cecil Chapman talks about the places where his father played the fiddle; his father's fiddle tuning style; other fiddle players from the area, Alec Kyle, Billy Kyle and George Fuller: musicians gathering to play as individuals and not in a group, the size of their repertoire; Stephen Foster melodies. He plays on his fiddle and sings.
