The Jenolan Caves gig (see below) was an unbelievable experience for us all. Sold out and people turned away so we hope there'll be another one soon. It was undoubtedly the worst lug of our lifetimes - Dylan brought his double bass for the occassion as well as Eddie's drum kit, a small but heavy enough PA. Amps, guitars and armloads of didjeridus were carried up the 472 stairs ( I think - lots anyway!) while ducking the overhangs and manouvering through the passageways.
All worth it though. The sound and the "just being there" factor was amazing - the band played a short set for media and did a quick press conference before the main audience came in. We played for about an hour and a quarter with calls for more from the obviously appreciative crowd. Our thanks to everyone that was there - you made it a very special day for us. Check out the Gallery page for some pics.
We took some video footage so we'll put something up on YouTube soon. We'll keep you posted
16th April Update
Journey To The Centre Of The Earth
Growing up as a big Jules Verne fan ( as well as Rick Wakeman! ), very excited about our gig coming up in Jenolan Caves. As part of the Slow Food & Wine Indulgence weekend Didjeridu Dingo has been invited to do an acoustic set in I believe the Cathedral Cave. Jenolan is one of the best cave systems around and is a very popular weekend destination for Sydney-ites so this should be a very special gig. Tickets are obviously limited so contact Jenolan Caves Trust to book. This is certain to be a real highlight for the band. find out more

Crooked Mountain Concert - Warrumbungle National
Park, NSW
Didjeridu Dingo opened the show once
again for this annual concert in the beautiful Warrumbungle Range
400km north west of Sydney. Playing as the sun went down, the atmosphere
was magic and the crowd's obvious enjoyment of our music reminded
us that here is where the band is really in it's element.
We performed a brand new piece written specially for
the event - Warrumbungles: Spirit Of The Land - The name and the
idea to a do a song evoking the feel of this area came jointly from
Aileen Bell of the Warrumbungles National Park, whose brainchild
it was to hold the event in this magnificent location, and Aunty
Maureen, an elder from the local Gamilaroi tribe.
During the performance of the new song it was our
honour to have Aunty Maureen join us on stage and speak in her native
language as we played the haunting middle section. It was very moving
for all present and we thank her for her generosity of spirit.
The duo that followed us were simply awesome! They're called stringmansassy. Check them out if you like great singing and guitar playing. |
