Jump to navigationJump to searchDoddy (Daniel) Murphy, The Lagoon, NSW provided details of some of the Australian tunes in this archive, as recorded by John Meredith.
"Doddy Murphy was born in 1917 and a second generation Australian, he sings with a marked Irish accent. ... Doddy plays the button accordion with a very individual style. He is a vigorous player, with a staccato touch on the treble end, while his legato bass carries a strong dance rhythm." -- (adapted from) J Meredith, R Covell, P Brown, Folk Songs of Australia Vol 2, UNSW Press, 1987, p219.
