A tongue in cheek look at the career of Australia’s greatest and most recorded song writer starring…..Himself!

At the 2020 Golden Guitar Awards Allan Caswell picked up his 8th Award … (with Manfred Vijars for Bush Ballad of the Year). This represents a huge span of 40 years from his first Award in 1980.

In 1979 Caswell wrote the theme for the Australian television series “Prisoner” (Cell Block H in England) … “On The Inside” was a number 1 hit in Australia and New Zealand in 1979 and later reached number 3 in the UK and the Patti Page version made the country charts in the USA. After the success of “On The Inside” he went fulltime and has made a living writing and performing ever since.

 Caswell has won 8 Golden Guitars from 46 finalist nominations … he has also been awarded 15 songwriting Awards from the Tamworth Songwriters Association, including The Songmaker Award. He has won 9 Awards at the Independent Country Music Awards (Southern Stars) including Album Of The Year for 3 of his albums. He is the go-to cowriter for many of Australia’s top artists.
