We are exceptionally lucky to have Ondrej Smeykal, world renowned didgeridoo extraordinaire coming to Suffolk on the 8th and 9th December, enabling us to enjoy his astonishing creativeness and masterpieces with a didgeridoo. Ondrej will be backed up by Local Didgeridoo player Dave Chapman who has recently had acceptance to the TV show Britain’s Got Talent, the next time you see him might just be on your TV screen so come and judge Daves skills for yourself and see if you think he’s got what it takes to perform in front of the royals. Ondrej is best described as a one-man Didgeridoo orchestra with the ability to create extraordinary music, each or song is very different in style, ranging from break-beat and organic Didgeridoo techno, to trance, ambient and anywhere in between. He has a highly original style of play following a life completely devoted to his Didgeridoo. For well over a decade and with ever increasing intensity, Ondrej has been developing and redefining his own unique approach to the Didgeridoo. His predominant use of unusually long Didges and "extensions" of up to 4 metres in length, enable him to play incredibly deep tones and to produce a much wider range of sounds and overtones than are possible on regular didgeridoos.
