Ten Quid Poms – For fifty years John and Robin have sung many forms of traditional music. English sponsored migrants, they named their duo “The Ten Quid Poms” and debuted at the 2016 Cobargo Festival.
They have been well received in many NSW and ACT clubs, and return to Sydney after both going over sideways last year with medical emergencies. The universe may have suspected something.

John and Robin are not just traditional performers, they have composed many songs based on traditional models. John has an enormous repertoire, many of his songs being also performed overseas. He wrote Yarri of Wiradjuri, a CD about the heroes of the 1852 Gundagai Floods and then collaborated with Robin in a very well reviewed CD, We Made The Steel about the NSW steelworks of Wollongong and Port Kembla.

Both have written a number of Union songs, as well as songs about the horrific combination of bushfire and dust storms that struck the ACT.

Over the years they have presented workshops and themed concerts on twenty or more different topics.
Impressive performers. Whatever they sing about, politics, work, animals, sea shanties, traditional or original, expect lively and interactive performance, a capella or variously accompanied, and scintillating harmonies.
