His contribution as a singer/songwriter is profound ... his 'Black Arm Band' is undoubtedly one of the most insistent and passionate songs documenting the backwardness of the Howard years.
This song was first released on a collection recorded by Wobbly Radio for the Labour Council of New South Wales. It was later released on the CD of MUA songs and poems 'With These Arms'.
He won a songwriting award from the MUA for his 'Bucket O Rust' in 2002 and won the Rail Tram and Bus Union 2009 song competition with his 'Don't Close That Depot Down'
you can find these songs on the Union Songs collection
