Books by Dennis O'Keeffe

Dennis O'Keeffe was one of the nation's leading performers of Australian traditional songs, and was a successful song-writing teacher for over ten years. For as many years, he led the Australian traditional song sessions at the National folk Festival in Canberra. Dennis played the anglo-concertina, an instrument that came to Australia during the gold-rush of the 1850s. Dennis was at the birth of hundreds of songs, having written some forty songs about Australian history, and nurtured many song writers from their first idea through the first public performance of their song.
