Anne Rutherford was a singer/guitarist in 60s folk trio The Settlers. The band started in 1965, playing at venues around the Snowy Mountains hydro-electric scheme for their fellow workers. Then they sent a tape to the Cooma radio station and the response to airplay saw RCA offer them a contract; they recorded their first album in 1966. 'Songs of the Snowy Mountains' became popular among the folk fraternity. It was followed quickly by 'The Settlers Sing More Songs of the Snowy Mountains', and later there were more records including 'West of Cooma', 'Snowy Rambler' and 'Mountain Tracks'.
