Alan Dargin & Michael Atherton #1

Bloodwood - the originators! A rare television appearance by the duo that created the iconic, landmark Australian recording (1991) Bloodwood: the art of the didjeridu. The didjeridu, now stolen, was made by Alan's grandfather from the last branch of a species of Bloodwood, Northern Territory acacia. Mike's guitar was made from Australian timber by Kevin Johnson.

Always my brother, Alan: we played together, laughed together, shared journeys. I will be a good uncle to Madison Rose. From Mike, Cath Jared, Marc Emily (Atherton).

Alan Dargin lived in Nita st In a small Town called Toronto, NSW. he lived 2 doors from me so he was a neighbour and more-so a good friend. I will never forget the tall colourful stories he would tell while we were baking raw potatoes in our campfire next to our makeshift cubby house behing his parents house and mine. Make no mistake, this guy was one in a million and an inspiration too many. From housing commision to world fame. Good on ya mate, will never forget you buddy. R.I.P
