"Dawn has one of those crystal-clear Joan Baez voices and her renditions of The Trees They Grow High, Silkie and Reynardine are delivered with much beauty" ... Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald
Dawn's experience of over 1000 bookings can be relied upon to help make a success of any occasion requiring atmospheric music.
Dawn is also available to be booked with guitarist Nigel Foote, depending on availability.
