Bit of a treat in the city yesterday.. well two actually! Firstly we had a catch up with fellow blogger and his partner from Melbourne Andrew, here for a week.. thankfully Perth is putting on her best weather for le occasion! On the way back to the car the evocative, earthy sounds of the didgeridoo vibrated along Murray St. Traveling musicians Whales Ave, here entertaining Perthites and visitors for a while made it look too easy.. have you ever tried? It so isn't easy, I can't even produce a pitiful peep :) You can see them in action here.. four minutes of incroyable breathing control.. and yes I do love the bagpipes also :) Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe... p.s. still catching up!
AND bagpipes! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWhen the instrument is bigger than the person, it requires a specialist!
ReplyDeleteTraveling musicians? Who would want to lug those horns around?
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I like the sound of the didgeridoo.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant As Always.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Love these!
ReplyDeletestreet music is simply great!! nice picture! ew
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I'd have loved it. Don't get to hear them often here!!!
ReplyDeleteI know a guy here who can play the didgeridoo, I have heard him do it a few times.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the digeridoo, that sound that goes through your whole body!
ReplyDeleteSure would be nice if they were collapsable so you could fit them in a bag.
ReplyDeleteI am sure this was an interesting spectacle!
ReplyDeleteStreet entertainment at its best.
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Grace!
ReplyDeleteI find the sound of the didgeridoo mesmerising. Love hearing it being played as part of street entertainment. Grand photos.
ReplyDeleteI dd enjoy your photos. Looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteWe came across our own rather good busker playing an upright piano in Hay St Mall but of course we only received a solo performance.
ReplyDeleteNice. Looks like they put effort in to their music / work.
ReplyDeleteHI, Grace. Your photo reminded me that last year we saw a terrific Austrian blues band, Harper and Midwest Kind, which featured a didgeridoo. Thought his was the best band of the weekend. To learn more about Peter Harper go to:

ReplyDeleteMusic is so central to cultures and I love to see the different instruments available to fulfill that need.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a special musician to draw a melody out of those pipes Grace.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat clicks.
ReplyDeleteWe had a street musician at a shopping plaza here for a long time, but the manage at Kmart had the police make him leave. Don't know why. He certainly wasn't bothering anyone. Most people liked having him there.
ReplyDeleteHow fun. It sounds like a perfect day. Meeting up with a fellow blogger and getting some free music on the same day. I loved hearing them play on that little video. Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteLove to watch those musicians in the city.
ReplyDeleteWe must also catch up one of these days Grace!
We have one from Alice (Springs, 1999) and Ingo really could play actually quite well. I only got a pfft out of the thing, though ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa, we´ll have our very first busker-festival this summer, can´t wait!
Very interesting! I love street artists, they play the soundtrack of our life.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I have seen someone play a didgeridoo was at Circular Quay in Sydney, and it was a native man. A most unusual sound.
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun, I really enjoy these kinds of music jams!
ReplyDeleteGreat article information. thank you
