What a great event, thanks to Gerry and his team for organising it.
My performance on the Sunday was well received and if it looked as if I was enjoying it -that’s because I was.
A big shout out to didj contemporaries from past and present and the folk who support me : Peter and Ivanka (did I spell that right?) Jackie and James, John Brad and ‘Buckley’, Phil Mordecai, Colin from Aboriginal Arts, Serious Sticks John, ‘Musical Mud’ Michelle, Aldaman, didgeridoo Pete, Gavin Blench, Sika, Antic Earthworks Ant, all the Kangaroo Moon posse. ‘Steve’ and ‘Smokey’ (the dog) -- I hope things get sorted out for you.
Here’s a clip of me playing an impromptu piece next to Aboriginal Arts Colin’s stall.
Well here I am back from Glastonbury. The mud washed off nicely and the roar of the crowd is still ringing in my ears.
The four performances I did went down well, didjeridu and loop sampler both behaved themselves and the workshop was fully attended. Next stop? Didgehead Radio festival on the Isle of Wight ….see you there!
I will be there in force, didjeridu in hand, plastic tubes (x30) and a loop sampler! Ho wot fun.
Times: 12-12.30pm start.
Places: Tadpole Tent, Green Futures field (Wed/Thu). Mandala Tent, GFF (Fri/Sat/Sun). Come along and join in -all abilities/ages welcome. Please shout “BOOMSHANKA!” if you came along having seen this

My didjes are made from selected British hardwoods. Rendered from branches of trees that were legitimately pruned as part of a tree’s necessary maintenance programme they are then kiln-dried until totally devoid of moisture and stress.
The hollowing/shaping processes demand the best possible sound tuning and finish before each didjeridu leaves the workshop.
Prices range from £50 to £150 depending on size/shape. Specific sizes, keys and finishes can be made to order.
I have been playing didjeridu for over sixteen years and in that time I have performed at countless live events, recording sessions and tutorials.
