Audiences will be treated to the Great Folk Songs of the 20th Century and new classic originals at a special performance by Maurie Mulheron and Pat Craigie and Dennis Aubrey at the Everglades Country Club on August 26 presented by the Troubador Folk Club.
Maurie Mulheron and Pat Craigie are two of the most enjoyable exponents of folk music in Australia.
They have appeared regularly at Australia’s peak folk festivals, folk clubs, theatres and concert halls here and overseas, as well as at protest marches and on picket lines for over 40 years.
They are particularly well- known for their re-imagining of the protest songs, love ballads, union hymns and work songs that were discovered during the worldwide folk revival of the 1960s.
It came as no surprise that they were chosen to be the opening act for Peter, Paul and Mary on their final Australian tour.
Together Maurie and Pat perform original songs and new arrangements of classic Australian and international folk songs.
As experienced performers with a background in theatre, their ability to connect with audiences through song, humour and stories has made them audience favourites in venues across the country.
Dennis Aubrey is the singing, ukulele playing poet of the Sydney streets, well known by Troubadour afficionados and other music lovers.
He’s also a fabulous song writer and solo performer.
His song, The Bag Lady’s Waltz, is surely one of the great Australian songs, and has been picked up and sung widely by famous artists.
There are many more gems in his treasure chest.
He knows how to bring a tear to your eye and is sure to make you tap your feet and sing along to some of his great choruses.
The show starts at 7pm.
