Charley Boyter: From The Stolen Generation To Slim Dusty’s Guitarist

💬 Lindsay Waddington is joined by Charley Boyter on the LWM House exclusive podcast, 'Did You Know? With Waddo'! ✨ Legendary Australian guitarist Charley Boyter takes us back to the town of Windsor, sharing his childhood as part of the Stolen Generation, his years in foster homes, and the emotional reunion with his family 55 years later through Find My Family Australia on Channel 7. Boyter reflects on how humour became both a shield and a strategy in social situations, forming a gospel trio, his time as an Aboriginal Careers Officer, and his 26 years with the iconic Slim Dusty. Lindsay and Charley discuss the distinctive “Charley Guitar” style, his beloved Martin D-18, Lawrie Minson's famous "Where Country Is" dobro lick, recording vs touring with Slim Dusty, and explores the unique combination of himself, Barry Thornton and Lindsay Butler. In this episode, Charley also opens up about the backlash he faced as Slim’s guitarist, nearly walking away from it all, until life-changing advice from Tommy Emmanuel changed everything. 🎬 Watch now and discover the amazing survival and success story that is Charley Boyter. 🏠 LWM House is a family-run entertainment brand and creative studio dedicated to celebrating people, talent, history, and music.
