Yothu Yindi In Phuket

[IrishIvan]

Did anyone else hear this rumour? I heard they were going to play at rock city on Australia Day

For those many members who have no idea who Yothu Yindi is, click on below link (skip the ad) An indigenous band from Australia. This was one of their biggest hits. If they are playing, I probably will not go, but I am sure some locals will get a buzz out of hearing the didgeridoo.

What's a didgeridoo, I hear you ask. It's basically a hollowed out tree branch.

Check out this random didgeridoo clip to hear the unique sound.

Not to be missed. Especially if they have Gurrumul. Very entertaining onstage. Not just a didgeridoo. They are brilliant musicians. As well, Australian Aborigines have a hilarious, self-deprecating sense of humour.

I have no problem with the band, I'm all for anything different on Phuket, but I just don't think they are suited to the venue, being Rock City, if this rumor is true.

It might be the hard rock cafe, I have a friend from mushroom records that reckons he has the drum on it

Maybe they are playing on a floating stage off Patong Beach. :)

Mandawuy Yunupingu, Yothu Yindi's lead singer was hospitalised at the beginning of December last year for about 6 days.

He has been receiving treatment for renal problems for about 5 years now.

Whilst it doesn't stop Mandawuy from doing the very occasional gig, I would be very surprised to see Mandawuy and the full Yothu Yindi crew here anytime soon.

P.S. I'd loved to be proved wrong as they were a top band in there heyday, and I wouldn't mind seeing them strut their stuff in Phuket. But as I'll be in Darwin next week for a spell, I reckon I've got a better chance of seeing the band there..
