Dubby (Graeme) Doubleday and Lyn Jerrett
Dubby (Graeme) Doubleday and Lyn Jerrett - accompanied by their lead guitarist Reece Blinman - will be performing some of Australia's best known bush ballads.
With 30 years.of shearing under his belt and a life on the land, it's little wonder people say you can smell the gum leaves on him when Graeme walks in the room.
Hailing from Tamworth, Dubby has played in local pubs around Quirrindi, Wallabadah and Wallis Creek. He's played in venues from the coast to remote outback townships and everywhere in between and he's looking forward to meeting you in Merriwa at the Festival of the Fleeces.
So if you enjoy the music of Slim Dusty, Stan Costa and Gordon Parsons, if you know who Jackie Howe is, if you love the old traditional bush songs about life on the land then you really don't want to miss this fantastic morning.
