About the project
The object of the Don Henderson Project is to introduce his songs to a new generation of the folk song movement in Australia and elsewhere. There is enough recorded material to produce a comprehensive selection on a double CD of Henderson songs and that would be the first part of the project. The second part would be to republish the songbook 'A Quiet Century'. The estimated budget for the project is $10,000 with sales from the CD funding the next stage.

Sponsorship has become a proven way for a project like this to have a secure budget. It involves enthusiasts and supporters to ensure such an important project is possible. Such sponsorship seems to have become a tradition of its own, with roots in the folk community. It has even been described as a folk process.

All sponsors of the Don Henderson Project will be acknowledged in the CD booklet, and are entitled to add a brief quote giving their reasons for sponsoring the memorial CD. Sponsors will receive three CDs after production as a part recompense for their financial support.

Sponsorship is open to anyone, individuals, folk clubs, folk festivals and other organisations. The cost of sponsorhip of the project is at a flat rate of $150. The resulting budget will allow the production of a comprehensive CD of high standard. It also ensures an initial distribution, as each sponsor will receive CDs.

Don's songs have been recorded by many folk revival singers including Declan Affley, Don Ayrton, Bill Berry, The Cobbers, The Colonials, Terry Hannagan, Alex Hood, Tommy Leonard, Paradiddle, Helen Rowe, Gary Shearston, Danny Spooner, Ian White, Geoff Wills and of course Don himself. Don's songs appeared in a number of song collections and magazines including Australian Tradition, Singabout, Songs of Our Times, Joy Durst Memorial Australian song collection, Songs of Australian Working Life, Builders Labourers' Songbook. There were also two collections of his songs and poems, I Can Sing and A Quiet Century, the latter published in 1994 by Sally Henderson with the Queensland Folk Federation.
