MEMORIES OF COLIN DRYDEN


 
Colin Dryden by Daniel Kelly
Some readers of this blog will remember the enigmatic Colin Dryden from the early years of the Sydney and Melbourne folk scenes. Colin was a prodigiously talented guitarist and singer, equally adept at traditional and contemporary British folk, as well as blues. He was later a member of the experimental fusion band, Extradition.

Yass songwriter and singer, Daniel Kelly, has a research and recording project going on Colin’s life and legacy. You can read all about it, starting at http://www.folklounge.org/2019/04/the-factory-lad-part-1/

If you have any memories, or better yet, recordings, of Colin in action, Daniel would love to hear from you as he winds up the project with a planned CD of his own interpretations of Colin Dryden’s core repertoire.
