Cecil Chapman of Kempsey NSW was raised in the then isolated area of Nulla Nulla Creek, better known as The Nulla.  Australian country music legend Slim Dusty, was also raised on the Nulla and was greatly influenced by the music of the area.

The area was full of traditional music and Cecil was in the thick of it.  His father was an old time fiddler and Cecil picked up his tunes and style.  Cecil kept to himself pretty well over his lifetime  and did not have any other style, influence the way he played. Recorded in 2010 Cecil plays a beautiful old waltz that was very popular in the area.
