'Immortal' video screening, panel discussion and concert

'Immortal' is a video produced by Bruce Watson paying tribute to the greats of the Australian folk scene who are no longer with us. With photos, video and audio recordings it celebrates many extraordinarily talented people who have left a lasting legacy through their music, inspiration, knowledge and passion. Performers, songwriters, collectors and inspirers have all played a key role in defining and shaping Australia’s changing cultural identity. ‘Immortal’ has been nominated as a finalist the ‘Community Cultural Project of the Year’ category in Folk Alliance Australia’s 2025 Australian Folk Music Awards, to be decided at the function on 22nd October at the Brunswick Ballroom.

A Victorian version of the Immortal video will be screening through the club on Sunday, 21st September commencing 3.30pm at the Ringwood East Senior Citizens Hall. This version of the video will include sections on more people with VFMC connections than is in the YouTube version, including Joy Durst, Bert Gibson, Clem Parkinson, Jim Buchanan & Joan Martin.

The video screening will be followed by supper and then a panel discussion comprising Ray and Joan Mundy, Steve Bullock, Margret RoadKnight, David Lumsden and possibly Ellen Hundley.
