Didgeridoo in Northampton

Alive and happenin - didge goings on in Northampton

Since taking up the didge I have made alot of new and good friends, many who live in or around Northampton. The only town that can boast TWO didge clubs. This page is dedicated to those friends, with thanks for all their support and encouragement - so here are some free mp3 samples - hopefully the music on this page will evoke great memories - and enjoyable for everyone else.

Didgery Doings in Northampton

Mother

Didgegirl Tina often sang along to people jamming at festivals and gatherings. Here is a selection of recordings of different versions on the theme 'Mother'. Recorded at different times at different locations all with a different feel to them. Thanks also to Chalky for banging it out on drums.

Tina and Chalky visited me on the south coast one weekend in August 2006. On the Saturday evening we sat round until the early hours, talking, making music and generally having a right old laugh. Using a cheap cordless microphone hooked up to a 10w guiar practice amp via a 20yr old delay effects pedal with recorded on my portable gadget left to run in the background. At times we got it sounded together and other times... so here are extracts of the evening. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we had fun!

Busking in Northampton

On a cold february Saturday morning, Chalky, Paul and myself braved the winter chill going outside with didgeridoo and drums to have a bash at busking in Northampton. It was, er, cold, and I think somewhat hungover from the didge club the night before. Notwithstanding all that, we got into it and gave it large to the folk of Northampton.

Didge Clubs in Northampton

There are two didge clubs hailing from Northampton, the M.D.C. (Midlands Didge Club) and N.D.C. (Northampton Didge Club). Held on different Fridays from each other, here are some extracts from the M.D.C. I highly recommend a visit to either or both clubs if you are ever the Northampton area - I know you will enjoy yourself.

February 2008 I was able to return to the M.D.C. in Northampton for a second time. Just as much fun as the first time I went. Thanks to Paul, Pete, Mandy, Chalky and others, can't wait til next time.

More from an evening with Tina and Chalky

Three samples of an Agave didgeridoo made by a chap from Israel, Goren (I hope I have the spelling right). During the eveing with Chalky and Tina and inbetween banging out different versions of 'Mother', we were calmer and chilled to the bass sound of this didge made from cactus.
