Arthur Blanch Wollum One - the story of the Blanch Family - the BookPrice: $29.95 Half a century of music and magic. Fifty years in any career is a significant milestone, and in music, it's extraordinary. That's why Golden Guitar winner Arthur Blanch and his wife Berice have marked that milestone with the publication of "Wollun ONE", a book detailing the Blanch family history and 50 fabulous years. It's a great read with an extremely readable 168 page publication. It's written in Arthur and Berice's own words, so it feels as if you're just having a friendly chat with Australia's country music family.
Not many biographies claim 900 photos! and the text tells a wonderful story of Arthur Berice and Jewel and their very exciting, very full lives through the second half of the 20th Century, with achievements on the stages and recording studios of Sydney, to Tamworth's Golden Guitar Awards, and to Nashville's Grand Ole Opry.
Wollun One tells the many stories Arthur and Berice have collected along the way. We won't go into any detail of the book here - that would spoil the read. But we can recommend it to anyone who has an interest in music, and especially Australian music.
