In The Australian History Show is made up of songs and stories from all periods of Australian history – entertaining, informative and fun, with myself playing five-string banjo, harmonica, bodhran (Irish drum), ukulele, spoons, rhythm bones and tea-chest bass, and using props, costumes and artefacts I’ve collected on my travels.

Students are always involved – in discussion, singing and playing simple instruments.

The show varies according to the curriculum focus of the class. This focus can be general Australian history – anything from convict ballads, Indigenous songs and stories (with permission) to original contemporary material – or we can narrow the focus to particular areas.

So teachers, please ask and I’ll let you know how I can fit the bill.

My top quality Australian history incursions are

* Highly recommended
* Curriculum aligned and adaptable to your curriculum focus
* Thoroughly researched, factual and with new information in addition to the standard knowledge
* Based in story, music and theatre
* Popular with students and teachers, and include meaningful student participation.

Storyteller Musician

My material ranges from history tales, folk songs, originals tales and songs about weird and wonderful happenings and people I meet. I’m part of a nation, I feel, that’s still trying to find itself. I do a lot of cross-cultural work, with Indigenous Australians, Turks and others, telling our mutual stories.
