Global Village on PBS 106.7 FM, Melbourne, Australia

1 March 2026

Playlist 1779 for Global Village (PBS-FM, Melbourne, Australia) for Sunday March 1, 2026. This week, I talk with social historian Alex Ettling, who has been researching the Australian folk music 'boom' of the 1950s and, in particular, the contribution of the Lumsden Family. As part of that research, he's convening a concert with David Lumsden, Margret RoadKnight, Martyn Wyndham-Read and The O'Hanlons, in Footscray on Saturday 7th March. We hear some music from that important era. And there's more music from some of artists who will be at WOMADelaide and Port Fairy etc next weekend, including Ganna and Daughters of Donbas. Presented by Roger Holdsworth.

(A): Australian artists - all or partly.
