What are the Powley Street singers?

The Powley Street Singers were an Australian band from Melbourne, active from 1971 to 1978. The band was led by singer-songwriter Rod Clement and featured other musicians such as Chris Bilson, Steve Cooney, Jim Conway, and Bruce Haymes. The Powley Street Singers released two albums, Through My Eyes (1972) and All Together Now (1973), and were known for their folk and rock music.

The band was named after the street in South Yarra, Melbourne, where Clement and Bilson lived at the time. The Powley Street Singers' music was often described as "progressive folk," and their lyrics often dealt with social and political issues.
