George Mann to perform at folk club

New York folk singer George Mann will perform at the Troubadour Folk Club, Woy Woy, on March 18.

Mann sings the songs from the last century of labour and social activism and his originals, which are often powerful yet comical takes on the state of the nation, according to Troubadour president Mr Michael Fine.

"Mann has been producing labour and protest music for more than 20 years.

"Mann has worked with the likes of folk music legends such as Utah Phillips, Pete Seeger and Tom Paxton and produced national tours in honour of the Almanac Singers and Joe Hill.

"Mann brings his experience as a union organiser and educator to his concerts, as well as stories and songs about real events and the struggle for a better life.

"He has just released For the Road and the Sky, his newest CD, and Until You Come Home: Songs to Heal the Wounds of War, a compilation CD of songs about the effects of war on those who serve."
