Alan Musgrove
Alan Musgrove (1957-), collected, arranged, and transcribed some of the Australian tunes in this archive. The NLA's Alan Musgrove Collection consists of 23 records that include interviews with Tom Walsh, Eileen McCoy, Lola Wright, John McKinnon, John Dengate, Jim Napier, Jack Heagney, and Bill Case. He made a number of recordings that comprise the Alan Musgrove Collection in the NLA in Canberra.
"Alan Musgrove is a remarkable Australian. A one off: Folklorist and collector, singer and interpreter of traditional song, acclaimed musician, songwriter, mentor, humorist entertainer, recording artist... Had he been born anywhere else in the world he'd be recognized as a keeper of a significant set of keys to the past, and celebrated for all his many incarnations as a national treasure." - John Broomhall in his review of Alan's CD "Behind The Times" in "Trad and Now".
