"John is a fine folk historian and songwriter
with a solid track record of poignant, accurate, moving songs about
Australian life and the history of 'the folk' (eg his CD
Pithead in the Fern). He also has a heart for justice and a
sensitivity to all sides of a story. These, plus his attention to details
and his canny awareness of drama and irony make a brilliant marriage with
his word-smithing skills and truly singable melodies."
–Fay White
"I like John's stuff too. Always
makes me want to chain myself to something with a placard in my hand."
