In memory of Brian Dunnett.

Author Biography

Mark Gregory, University of Wollongong

University of Wollongong Post Graduate Research Associate Mark Gregory has been collecting and commenting on Australian folk song for half a century. He has curated several online collections of his research material. His MA (Research) in Music ‘Sixty Years of Australian Union Songs’ focused on the long relationship between the Australian Labour Movement and the Australian Folk Song Revival. For his doctoral thesis in History ‘Australian Working Songs and Poems – A Rebel Heritage’, he collected and analysed 150 poems/songs drawn from 74 Australian newspapers and journals dating from the convict era to the end of the Great Depression. He is particularly interested in lyrical material as historical expression and evidence of class perspectives.
