Charley Boyter began playing guitar at the age of fifteen, jamming along with other pickers at a Church of Christ camp at Lake Illawarra in New South Wales. Originally from Windsor NSW Australia, Charley was removed from his Aboriginal family as a youngster along with his brother and three sisters and spent the rest of his childhood growing up in a foster home in Sydney.
Recognised as one of Australia's leading country guitarists  Charley played with Australian Country Music legend, Slim Dusty, for twenty years and is still an active performer.
Charley has also worked in the NSW prison system and mentored  Indigenous youth .
We recorded Charley in June 2014 and his interesting story will be available online through the National Library of Australia.
Charley plays (for the first time) his new Martin D28 that his wife, Sandra, recently purchased for him.
