Introduction

Welcome to Newport. The Newport Bush Orchestra, led by Greg O’Leary is an offshoot of the Newport and Folk Club (nffc.org.au). Greg created a collection of mainly Australian tunes for the Bush Orchestra. Some were well-known, others more obscure and collected from the corners of Victoria, Tasmania and elsewhere. This book contains many of those tunes, selected on their suitability for sets in a bush dance. The odd blank page will appear here and there - it is deliberate so the dance sets are grouped across a pair of open pages.
