Martin Wyndham-Read to perform at house concert

Martin Wyndham-Read will perform at a special house concert hosted by the Troubadour Folk Club on November 18.

Martin Wyndham-Read has been a full-time folk singer for over 50 years and was at the forefront of Australia's folk revival in the early 1960s.

He had been sent out from England as an 18-year-old to work on a sheep station and, while there, fell in love with the old songs he learned from the other workers.

He took those songs back to Melbourne and Sydney and, in 1967, back to England.

He recorded with the song collector Al Lloyd, along with Martin Carthy, Dave Swarbrick and Trevor Lucas.

Since then he has produced about 20 albums of both contemporary and traditional folk songs

"He is one of the great figures on the English folk scene and continues to work worldwide but says that 2016 is probably his final tour of Australia," according to folk club organiser.

Troubadour sessions also take place on the first Sunday of each month with the next session on Sunday, November 6, from 2pm to 5pm.

The session takes place at the Woy Woy CWA Hall and participants are invited to bring their instrument, voice or both and join in for a session and sing along.

The Troubaluker Ukelele Group meets Mondays from 10am to 12pm at the Everglades Country Club to learn ukelele and perform at various venues such as nursing homes, fetes and folk clubs.
