WILFRID’S FOLK CLUB – FRIDAY 30 MAY

Supported by local duo, Patrice & Phil Lyth.
Martyn Wyndham-Read has been involved with folk music for over 60 years. Traditional and contemporary English and Australian songs from one of the all time masters. A warm-voiced singer and fine guitarist.
In his late teens he left his mother’s farm in Sussex, England and headed off, with his guitar, to Australia where he worked on a sheep and cattle station, Emu Springs, in South Australia. It was while he was there that he first heard the old songs sung by some of the station hands and became captivated by the character and atmosphere of these songs and the need to know more of them and where they came from. He headed off to Melbourne and became part of the folk song revival there and throughout Australia during the early 1960’s.
