Margaret has been a regular face at the Dog since its inception 25 years ago. She loves singing unaccompanied chorus songs and the harmonies that are a specialty of the Dog audience. Rock solid, Margaret's voice is right where it needs to be, whether delivering a clarion call for social justice, a tender lullaby, a lively or poignant folk tale, an uplifting hymn to Mother Earth, a rousing work song from the yardarm, or an up-yours from a feisty lass.

Margaret will be joined for several songs at the Dog by the multi-talented Christina Mimmocchi who contributed harmonies on Margaret's most recent solo album, Steadfast.

 

Allan Murray, Scottish born folk singer/guitarist draws inspiration from traditional Scottish/Irish folk music and American bluegrass. He has performed in folk clubs in Hamburg, Germany; Johannesburg, South Africa and, of course, Sydney and performs regularly at folk clubs in Lithgow, Blackheath and Katoomba. He recorded two tracks for Miguel Heatwole’s CD The People Have Songs, which he played at the National Folk Festival in Canberra.
