Alastair Black - Musician, didgeridoo performer & teacher worldwide

“The didge is an acquired taste of which I certainly understand the flavour!!

John is the didge-man, his ambient sounds vibrate the very soul. I first met John at a jam session I organised in Tintagel Cornwall, he instantly impressed with how he could change the obvious rock structure and predictable thrash of guitars, with the use of this most natural of instruments, and create a fresh need for imagination.

The didge is a hard instrument to master, the circular breathing is just the start, its the creation of unpredictable sounds and the understanding of the tribal, the spiritual and of race memory that only an accomplished musician can grasp.

John is an innovator of the art and is massively respected for his grasp of perfect rhythm”
