Forty Degrees South (40°S) is a Sydney-based folk group renowned since 1988 for making a powerful impact when singing unaccompanied traditional songs. They were previously “The Roaring Forties”.
The group is made up of strong individual singers and the vigour and interplay of their combined voices makes for a distinctive sound.
Sea shanties and other songs of maritime and industrial history and union songs feature large in their repertoire, songs with a robust quality that tell of real people, their lives and work.
Much of their material has been honed by generations of folk singers; other songs are contemporary – some are accompanied – but composed with respect for the tradition.
They enjoy harmonies and encourage audience participation.
Members of Forty Degrees South are:
Jude Alexander, Don Brian, Tom Hanson, Chris Maltby and Margaret Walters
