Spirit Gallery Didgeridoos & William Barton at the Sydney Opera House

Posted on by

Our good friend William Barton will be performing at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday 3rd August with the Australian Youth Orchestra. William came in earlier in the week before rehearsals to pick out the didgeridoos he will be using.

 

William knows a good didge when he sees one and these three beauties caught his attention- a CrookedStixz Didgeridoo (left) Tristan O’meara Didgeridoo (middle) and Bruce Rogers (right). Three of the countries top instrument makers all on stage at the Opera House- awesome!!

 

The Spirit Gallery team will be attending the event and there are still a limited number of tickets left for the evening.

 

Watch Adam “CrookedStixz” Henwood Making A Didgeridoo

Posted on by

During our trip to the Melbourne didgeridoo festival in March we spent a couple of days with CrookedStixz didgeridoos himself, Mr Adam Henwood.

 

He was kind enough to allow us to film him for the entire day as he crafted and shaped a didgeridoo from a raw log into a finished didgeridoo.

 

Many thanks to Adam for allowing us to share this with the didge world. Enjoy!
