The inaugural meeting and first rehearsal of the BUSH MUSIC CLUB will take place at the Realist Theatrette, 1st Floor, 188 George Street, on Thursday October 14th, at 7 p.m. sharp.
[6] Life members included the Australian traditional singers Sally Sloane and Duke Tritton; the latter assisted Meredith with his song collecting and also served as club vice president for several terms.
A selection of performers from the club, including Meredith and several other of the original Bushwhackers in the early years, performed at festivals and public gatherings as the "Bush Music Club Concert Party" and made a number of appearances on record between the mid 1950s and 1960s (see "Recordings" section); for David Jones "Wool Week" in 1959 they also appeared as "The Shearer's Band".
From the 1970s and onwards, many performers who had received their "apprenticeships" with the Concert Party went on to form bands of their own, examples being "The Rouseabouts", "Ryebuck", "Pinchgut", "Selectors", "Southern Cross", "Sydney Coves", "Currawong" and "Barangaroo".
