The begining of my didgeridoo and music life. It all started for me when I used to own a gift and alternitive shop that sold all sorts of nice things including didgeridoos thats when I first tried to play one.
Shortly after those experiences with the didg I moved to Glastonbury Somerset ,were it became a big part of my life.
I began to play a lot more and got into the making of them also and produced a few and started teaching at home, going into schools and collages.
1998.. I did my first public performance for the White cockatoo performing troup who had arrived in this country to perform their song and dance.
The troup was from Arnhemland in the far north of Australia. The gig was at the essembly rooms Glastonbury and was a huge success I played very well and the Aboriginals enjoyed it immensely.
The didgeridoo player in the troup was the well respected David Blanasi ,he's played for many years. We became friends and stayed in touch.
He taught me lots of stuff and I owe a greet deal to this fine man.
He invited me to his homeland a small village called Wugularr,Arnhemland,NT.Australia I could'nt wait to get there.
1998...I started performing more playing at various festivals and venues.
The following year I joined the band Thelemic Pulse and begain rehearsals for the Lizard eclipse festival.
We were the fanale band along side the levellers and nigel kenedy, it was a good fest.
After touring most of the year I returned back home to Glastonbuy to play with local bands at local venues.
2000..I met Aboriginal elder Francis Firebrace a well respected atrist and story teller, we started doing gigs together there were many, many of them we even played for his royal highness prince phillip the duke of Edinburgh.
2001..I met up with fellow didgeridoo player Ben Brown we started busking recorded a live cd titled ,Live N Happening which was recorded live on the streets of Glastonbury,Wells and Bath.
We played lots of gigs and fests accross the UK it was a good time.
Later that year I traveled to Australia I started up in the far north ,the tropics, were I began my tour. It was a great experience, sharing knowledge with Aboriginal tribes people playing didg,Cutting them and making them.
Sat around camp fires in the outback was a blast ,and I was fortunate enough to be invited to do a gig with Andrew Langford ,a well respected performer based in Alice Springs.
The whole tour was more than words can say..
2002..I met up with the Red Centre Dreaming mob they are a dance troup from Alice Springs who I had met during my visit to Australia.They had come to the UK to perform their song and dance.
I began a tour with them I used to play before they went on stage .It was a lot of fun, also played some big gigs and played to thousands upon thousands of happy people, what a blast..
2003... I moved back up to the east coast of UK to spread the word and bring forth the awerness of the Aboriginal culture and customs.
Puting on demonstrations and performing solo at many gigs and festivals.
I had recorded 7 cds by this time so had lots and lots of cool music to play no worries, it was cool times..I also did tv and radio broadcasts.
