Warren Fahey has been collecting and performing bush songs and verse for nigh on 40 years. He is a noted folklorist, broadcaster, record producer and author. He was awarded the Order of Australia in 1996, Centennial Medal in 2001 and Golden Gumnut Award in 2004 from the Country Music Association of Australia for 'Lifetime Achievement in Promoting the Bush Ballad'. In 2004 ABC Music released two CDs of his early recordings.

The heyday of the popularity of Bush Poetry in Australia was in the second half of the 19th Century when everyone 'knew poetry'. It was at this time that Australia began creating a national identity, one more colonial than sterling. We made heroes out of horsemen, tough shearers, determined gold diggers and even 'bold bushrangers'. C.J. Dennis, Will Ogilvie, W.T. Goodge, J.W. Gordon and that great poet, 'Anonymous', provided us with a catalogue of poetry best described as classic bush verse.
