The Dunstan Rangers

The Dunstan Rangers are Martin Durrant, Murray Costello, Matt Newman, Chris Nichol and Paddy Burgin.

Started in the 1980's by a bunch of homesick South Islanders marooned in the North Island, their early material consisted of many weepy songs written either by themselves or by Gram Parsons, Hank Williams of John Prine. Over the years musos have come and gone, and the unit has been whittled down to a furious five players now completing their second album Second Life.
