| "Charlie McMahon
took up playing the didjeridu as a child, long before it
became popular outside its home in the tropical north, and has
become the most acclaimed didjeridu player in Australia.
While Charlie revered the playing of the Aboriginal people in
their traditional ceremonies, he did not seek to mimic their
performance, but took the didjeridu to contemporary music.
Charlie learned how to tune didjeridus to concert pitch and
practiced different styles while jamming with bands at gigs.
At 16 years Charlie lost his
right hand while experimenting with rockets in his backyard.
He reckons it was not all bad for afterwards he “hooked”
into school work & won a university scholarship. He holds an
Honours degree in Government & Economics from Sydney
University."
Charlie has held a number of
government posts and loves his passion for music.
