1001 Songs in 1001 Days?

My aim here is to share my love of folk music. My posts include original as well as traditional songs and covers of my favourite singer song-writers, such as Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and Eric Bogle.

I have been singing folk songs for over 40 years, and play guitar (badly) and fiddle (even more badly).

I have produced 4 CDs:
Axis of Evil and other True Stories
Laws of Chance
Gospel Ship
Pigs Might Fly and other Politically Incorrect Ballads

I hope you enjoy my songs. All comments are appreciated, including constructive criticism. However, I may delete threats, and language that I consider unsuitable for any young people watching this channel.

Thank you to all those who have subscribed and/or commented.
I am married with two adult sons and two grandsons, one from each son.

I have a website about my folk music which you may like to visit. It is a wiki so you are welcome to contribute, add information or your own folk song page or links to your own site, or just use it to find lyrics and chords.

For my Featured Video - I will choose a video that has been generally overlooked. When it reaches 500 views I will change it for another one.

Your renditions of folk songs are gems to find. :)
Your voice/accent has a lovely Irish sounding lilt or tilt (whatever the English word is for that).
To faraway Australia: you and family have a nice day!

Great to see that the Welsh can't help but form a choir wherever they may be! :)
My Grandfather was in the Victorian Welsh Male Voice Choir for many years...maybe you know (of) him. It's such a small world, it wouldn't surprise me in the least!

Some of my favourite folk songs are the English and Scottish Ballads collected by Francis James Child. I will put them together in this playlist.
My Australian songs will go into this playlist, starting with convict songs, then songs about bushrangers, then shearers and drovers, and finally more recent songs.
