Introducing Cootamundra Music
Cootamundra Music was established by Malcolm Tattersall in 1982, primarily to publish and sell his own music. For the next ten years it was part of a co-operative arrangement with other self-published Australasian composers for recorder (Lance Eccles, Peter Madge, Cenarth Fox, John Rimmer and Suzanne Palmer-Holton) but Malcolm's move from Melbourne to Townsville made this impractical and in 1998 Cootamundra again became a single-composer publisher.
All Cootamundra Music publications are now computer-set and printed on heavy-weight bond paper.
Music for woodwind ensemble or junior concert band was added in 2003, and Malcolm's debut CD appeared under the Cootamundra name in 2002.

More Australian music for recorders
All of the other composers mentioned above are still active in one way or another:
-
Suzanne Palmer-Holton and Peter Madge have continued to self-publish - contact Suzanne at http://www.palmerholtonmusic.com/ and Peter at 27 Hilary Ave, McCrae, Victoria 3938, Australia.
-
Lance Eccles is now published by Orpheus
-
Recorder music was never central to the work of either Cenarth Fox or John Rimmer. Both are still writing and both still have recorder music in their catalogues, but their main interests are plays for schools and music for orchestral instruments, respectively.
