MARTYN WYNDHAM READ
English by birth, Martyn first developed his great interest in folksongs of the outback when he went to Australia in the early 1960′s. There, while working on the South Australian sheep station “Emu Springs”, he gained first hand experience of life as a bush worker and at the same time fell in love with Australia and it’s music.
During his subsequent travels he spent much of his time seeking out and learning old songs directly from drovers, cane cutters and other bush workers. As the folk song revival gathered pace in Australia, Martyn found himself singing these songs to audiences all across the Australian continent and after seven years down under, he returned to England where he performed these songs to an appreciative British audience. Concert tours spreading his style of music to the far corners of the world have been the norm since then.
To date his recording career spans 33 years and more than 30 albums, many considered classics of their genre. One of the most engaging performers you’re ever likely to see, his exceptionally intimate performance combines songs, humorous bush poetry recitations, stories and anecdotes of outback life and comments on Australian history and culture that typically leave the audience ready to book the next flight out to Sydney!
ERIC BOGLE
Eric needs little introduction to the Australian Folk Scene. Best known for his First World War classic songs “Änd the Band Played Waltzing Matilda” and “No Man’s Land” Eric has entertained and provoked thought and pricked the conscience of Australians for a number of years. Scotland’s best export, Eric’s dry wit & humour coupled with incisive insight has earned him a huge audience world wide. A National Treasure and great friend of Martyn Wyndham Read, the energy and synergy of this collaboration of old friends will be a rare and wonerful musical treat. DON’T MISS IT !!
