Archer’s project,
In the Land where the Crow flies backwards: The songs of western NSW, has as its centre point the songs of the infamous troubadour, Mr Dougie Young, but also looks at lesser-known characters from that era of the fifties and sixties and earlier, as well as up until today.

Barbara had a secure childhood in Wagga. Her English war-bride mother Kath was her inspiration. Kath would leave the kitchen and play a Schubert Impromptu before the family sat down to dinner. Barbara remembered the day when, as a seven-year-old, she found a trio playing in the lounge room.
