Event Details

We are extremely happy to announce that the 10th Didgeridoo Bush Camp will be held on 25 - 27 October 2019. Didgeridoo Bush Camp is a three day NON for Profit Didgeridoo event for boys and men of all ages and levels. The Didgeridoo workshops and live performances are done by legend and Didgeridoo Virtuoso Mark Atkins and Australian Roots multi instrumentalist didgeridoo player Nathan Kaye . The weekend also includes the opportunity to make your own Didgeridoo. We acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of Ipswich; the Yagara Language Group: Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul.


ABOUT MARK ATKINS
Acknowledged as one of Australia’s finest Didgeridoo players, Mark Atkins is also recognised internationally for his collaborative projects with some of the world’s leading composers and musicians. A descendant of Western Australia’s Yamitji people, as well as of Irish/Australian heritage, Mark Atkins is known not only for his masterly playing, but also as a storyteller, composer, percussionist, visual artist and instrument maker. Through Mark’s lips the air blows as a natural desert sound, in old ethnic chants and in polyphonic melodies of astonishing rhythm

ABOUT NATHAN KAYE

An influential part of the Australian Roots music scene & renowned as the world’s first didgeridoo-beat boxer, Nathan Kaye, is a globe-trotting one-man-band who thumps out songs on slide guitar, slide-didge & electric foot-drums. It's like he's chewed on blues, munched on funk, grabbed a handful of rock, sniffed up world roots, tinkered with your granddad's old drum kit & then exhaled his own genre. It's music that marries the earthy drive of John Butler, Xavier Rudd and Ben Harper with the uplifting atmosphere of Michael Franti and Nahko Medicine For the People. It’s the best sweaty, dirty, good-vibed foot-stomp you'll get from a one-man show. And his band show takes it next level!
