Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival

Award Winning Mundy-Turner are Catherine Mundy and Jay Turner, an internationally touring acoustic, original songwriting duo. Both performers are impressive vocalists, able to inject melodies with affecting depth and pathos.

Their instrumental work is equally expressive.  Jay is a versatile acoustic guitarist, alternately driving and delicate.  Cath plays lyrical violin and piano in a cross between classical, folk and rock styles.

Together their live performances are characterised by strong original material, intricate harmonies, humorous story-telling, and powerful arrangements. A melting pot of musical styles - folk, blues, rock, country, classical, gospel, a cappella and pop influence them both.

Mundy-Turner's music is unique and emotionally charged.  Their stage presence has been described as "exciting, dynamic and charismatic".

The duo's debut award winning album, High Life, was launched in late March 1998 to a sell-out audience at Cairns' Rondo Theatre, two days prior to their first European Tour as a duo. The six month tour of clubs and festivals in the UK and ITALY was a great success, resulting in a UK Tour bookings contract.

Mundy-Turner are now based in Brisbane whence they travel the world, writing new songs and enthralling audiences wherever they go!
