Ernie Gruner & James Rigby

Ernie and James met 45 years ago and bonded over Shetland fiddle workshops and Blues jams at Port Fairy Folk festival and together they chased tunes and good times at Irish sessions, bush dances and music camps all over Australia. Now it’s time to perform together and share all their favourites gathered on the way.
