Martyn Wyndham-Read - House Concert
Martyn Wyndham-Read is an English-born folk singer, notable as a collector and singer of Australian folk songs. He lived and worked in Australia from 1960 to 1967 and has been a regular visitor to the country ever since. In 1960 Wyndham-Read moved from Sussex to Australia where he worked on Emu Springs sheep station in South Australia. It was there that he heard, first-hand, the old songs sung by some of the station hands. He became captivated by these songs and their history and origin.
