Pat Powell chose to make Sydney his home in 1981 where he is well known as a jazz, funk and reggae singer, he has worked and recorded internationally with some of the biggest names in show business Al Green, Michael Hutchence and Kylie to name a few. In 2004 he teamed up with Paul Finnerty and they recorded a CD in the mainstream jazz style. They were quick to realize that the best way to promote their music was to write original tunes and in 2006 they brought out a CD which was done in the adult contemporary style. This year they have produced a CD which so far has been described as being in the 60’s pop style, although to either it is just good music. They incorporate a few tunes that have social conscience as they think it’s their duty to make people more aware of the circumstances in the world today. Both are interested in feed back of their music especially on style or gender, which would help to place it in the correct slot. Visit our site at:- www.riffraffjazz.net

Lyrics
Poverty Poverty is our life work and toil to survive Hygiene has no place at all our health is a disgrace Sickness and fever reign and our squalor is a shame We are poor and out of touch cause our leaders pass the buck Exploited and abused we are always being used Nothing a day is fair pay for a long long day Well known brands take us on make us work all day long Sweat shops are the thing today no one will complain Round the world it’s much the same global tricks are all to blame Think about what’s said and done have a heart if you can We are just human beings trying to live within our means Poverty shouldn’t be here let’s share the wealth around Solo Well known brands take us on make us work all day long Sweat shops are the thing today no one will complain Round the world it’s much the same global tricks are all to blame Think about what’s said and done have a heart if you can We are just human beings trying to live within our means Poverty shouldn’t be here let’s share the wealth around
