IAN PAULIN


Ian Paulin is a singer-songwriter from Ulverstone who started performing his own material in concerts around Tasmania in 1970. He has taken part in TV and radio programmes in most capital cities. Ian's first album 'Glebe Hotel Inviation' was recorded in 1975 on the local Candle label. He formed The Glebe Hotel Band after the first album, and they won the first prize in The Battle Of The Bands in Hobart in 1976. They also released a single on the Candle label ''American Way/Suzanne The First'' and supported Ariel on their Tasmanian tour.

He later became involved with the Tasmanian Wilderness Society writing protest songs against the damming of The Franklin River. His single ''Face Of Things To Come/If You Believe'' came out in 1980 and is also on the soundtrack of the film The Franklin - Tasmania's Last Wild River.

Ian's work has brought him to share the road with the homeless, at risk and marginalized people, heroes and fools, the best and the worst of souls. He's campaigned for peace, sung to save the wilderness and searched for any way to share a road with any who need. Activist, environmentalist and campaigner for justice and the release of people from poverty. Fun, passionate, yet clear and relevant whether poetry or prose, live performance or through his recordings something actually happens.
