Walters and Warner 

Sydney folk music scene stalwarts, Mandola Man's favourite duo.

Jez Lowe

From the North East of England has done several Australian tours. There can not be many clubs where there isn't someone who sings at least one Jez Lowe song. You will find some of the back catalogue quite interesting.

Chris While and Julie Matthews

This dynamic duo have put together a good site with loads of info.

The Wheeze and Suck band

They are a really fun Sydney band, with their roots in Morris and English country dance bands

Peter Hicks

This former Sydney resident now based in Tassy, does some great gigs. Leader of that great Sydney band the Born again Pagans, and now involved in some other great musical adventures which always get good reviews.

Jim Low

Jim is an ecologically sound singer song writer from the Blue Mountains whose gentle presentation belies the message of his songs

Cockersdale

 

One of the the UKs leading harmony groups keeping the songs of the former member of the group, the late Keith Marsden, alive and prominent, and they also happen to have recorded the odd John Warner song. You will know a Keith Marsden song from somewhere, almost certainly, but you may think its "traditional" or "annon", because of its timeless quality.

Bev Sanders and Bob Surgeoner

I spoke to Bev at Bridgenorth, and she and Bob Surgeoner have had a period when they have not been on the road because of other commitments, but are now looking for gigs again. Both are former members of 'Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies', of course. If you are yet to hear their wonderful CD "Oblique House", you really are missing something.

Wongawilli

This great Australian Band have an extensive site with lots of information on festivals and dance. 

Artisan

Top line Yorkshire trio have their own site where they have chosen a simple presentation for quick loading.

Bernard Bolan

Is a Sydney institution and all round good chap. Well known for songs which make you laugh, but also writes and sings material which makes you think, and sometimes both at the same time. The first folkie to play on stage at the Sydney Opera House

Folk label sites

The Bees Knees

Lots of information to various UK artists including the No Masters Label, where you will find the recordings of Coope, Boyes and Simpson.

Fellside

Includes the recordings of Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, Jez Lowe, Martin Wyndam-Read, Cockersdale and Johnny Collins. The recordings are all listed numerically !!! There is a section on dealers world wide, so getting recordings should be relatively easy.

Music Pangaea

Includes Jez Lowe, Wongawilli, Martin Wyndam-Read and Gerry Hallom recordings
