Barry Skipsey is an Australian singer-songwriter based in the iconic outback town of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Working in the tourism arena, he has entertained visitors to Central Australia for the past forty years. The lyrics in many of his songs speak to those who live past the city limits and portray the colour and character of this diverse island nation. As a father his songs of life, love and family are thought provoking. They’ll take you on a nostalgic, often humorous journey and move you. Barry’s latest album: The Wrong Tram features 14 original songs and was awarded the distinction of “Album Of the Year – Traditional 2023” by fifty Australian Folk Alliance judges.

He is the author of the ubiquitous maritime-themed song, Ocean Liner and a new version of this classic maritime song appears on his New Album.
