Posted Wednesday, December 9, 2015
Tamworth’s 2016 Songmaker of The Year, Pat Drummond is a performer with an astonishing capacity to entertain; and a songwriter, whose passionate commitment to Australia and its people has produced songs, which are almost like one-act plays; detailed social snapshots of ordinary Australians caught in the act of living.
With 12 CDs out through Shoestring, Pat's unique blend of Journalism and Songwriting has produced a stunning record of Australian Life in the the past three decades.
A master wordsmith described by David Latta as a "Songwriter's Songwriter", his work has often inspired high praise.
Judy Small says of him that he creates "beautifully crafted songs which tell us about the legendary, the ordinary and the possible, in ways that leave us not only with our feet tapping but with our hearts singing."
Eric Bogle describes him as "an original and witty songwriter. whose deft lyrical and melodic touch, allied to his clear-eyed yet compassionate view of the human condition ensures that his songs have a quality that sets them apart from, and above, most other songs you will hear."
Bruce Elder has simply described his work as "Lyrical declaration of War"
