ALISTAIR HULETT

Alistair Hulett was born in Glasgow and discovered traditional music in his early teens. In 1968 he and his family moved to New Zealand where he established a reputation on the folk circuit with his large repertoire of songs and his interpretation of the big narrative ballads. In 1971, at the age of eighteen, Alistair moved over to Australia and played sucessfully for many years in both the folk and punk scenes in and around Sydney. Alistair's first solo CD, "Dance of the Underclass" 1991, which is completely acoustic, was instantly hailed as a folk classic. His song "He Fades Away" was picked up by Roy Bailey, June Tabor and Andy Irvine.

Alistair, now based once again in Glasgow, continues to work solo and with Dave Swarbrick with whom he has forged a hugely successful musical partnership.
