My Scot songbird friend, Isla Grant(qv), will be touring Australia in 2021. Besides "Waltzing Matilda" what other songs should she put on her playlist?

I must have some Ozzie blood because that song stirs it up. I suppose that there are a lot of Irish over there after the big potato famine and purging of the Irish jails, eh?

Yes, "Waltzing Matilda" is well and truly up there for me too, Donny

I might suggest the song "I am Australian". It's powerful and represents the cultural diversity of this land.

To be sure, to be sure... grin

Hello Don.
I am definitely not an Australian but would like to suggest
"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle.
One of my all time favourite songs and artists.
Cheers
Richard

I am an Aussie and I would have to agree with “And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda”. All about the ANZAC Spirit.

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda is a song I play both at Australia Day and ANZAC Day functions. (Or shows close to that time). Another song I would suggest is True Blue by John Williamson (if you can get permission) or Tenterfield Saddler by Peter Allen.

And I firmly believe Isla Grant would do a really great job of any one of those songs. It has been some time since I saw Isla perform.

Yes, that is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard, and that's really saying something.

Isla contributed five songs to my latest album and she is a beautiful human being with a divine voice. I consider it a high honor to call her "friend." We chat nearly every day.

Don,

Any of the Seeker's songs would be popular with older Australians and I'm pretty sure they would still work with younger people who have not heard them... they're all very catchy.

I hope the links below help.

Slim Dusty was a very well known Australian country singer. His most famous songs were...

Hey Noel, I've got those CDs! I love those songs. Especially Waltzing Matilda, Tenterfield Saddler and I Still Call Australia Home, Only 19.

My younger mate suggests men at work, midnight oil etc. There is one great New Zealand Band - I think - Crowded House.

Natalie Imbruglia, Delta Goodrem, Christine Anu.

There's also some great Aboriginal musicians.
