With songs that become stories that become songs and yarns that become instrumentals and morph into poetry, characters and theatre, Jan ‘Yarn’ Wositzky is a consummate Australian performer of traditional and original material, played with banjo, harmonica, bodhran, bones and spoons, with lashings of humour, a dash of pathos, a swig of politics and a love of this land – and all in the one sentence. Jan was a founder of The Bushwackers Band; an author of best-sellers such as ‘Me & Phar Lap’; honourary performer at the 2003 Anzac Day Service at Gallipoli; and creator acclaimed stage shows such as ‘Buckley: The Go-between’ and ‘Whitefella Learns to Dance.’ |
