Bio

Margaret & Geoff are accomplished folk musicians. Their credentials are impressive due to their constant involvement, and development within the Australian folk movement. Their original involvement came about through the British traditional revival of the 1960s in Perth and Sydney, but has now broadened.

Margaret has a clear distinct voice, and is one of those rare singers whose every word can be understood. Accompanied by Geoff on guitar (sometimes bouzouki, sometimes didgeridoo) their repertoire includes songs about Australia. Songs written by themselves, others written by contemporary writers like Eric Bogle, Harry Robertson, and Kev Carmody. Historical songs about WW1, about Pearling at Broome, about Albert Namatjerra. Social comment songs about the devastation of our forests, about the 'stolen' generation, and a whole heap of other songs designed to put a smile on your face. And the occasional traditional song still creeps into set lists without warning!

More recently they have developed a children's programme - once again essentially Australian, and essentially fun for the under twelves.
