Graham
Dodsworth, a singer, songwriter, guitarist and performer since
childhood, uses his long association and intimate knowledge
of folklore to deliver powerful interpretations of Australian,
Celtic, British and contemporary Folk Songs. He has a Master
of Arts in Australian Folklore and takes audiences on entertaining
tours of 19th and early 20th century Australian song.
Graham
was born in a small coal mining town in rural Australia and
became interested in folk song during his teenage years, performing
at venues and festivals throughout Australia ever since. Fascinated
by the evolution of songs as they traversed centuries and
continents, he began researching the triggers that prompted
alterations to words and tunes. Upon entering academia, it
was inevitable this would become the topic of his thesis,
now published and currently available on Amazon. Graham was
awarded a National Library of Australia and Australian National
Folk Festival fellowship and has to date released three albums,
'Summer Madness', 'In Good King Arthur's Day' and 'In Our
Time'. His current project is a song album titled, 'Australia'.
