It's not unusual to feel nervous before interviews, especially with musicans whose albums you always have on high rotation. But with her voice always three steps shy of a laugh, it would be practically impossible for Clare Bowditch to make anyone feel unwelcome. She even apologises for the noise in the background; she's wandering the streets of Northcote in search of a decent coffee.
Such expeditions will soon be a memory for Bowditch. Despite achieving national acclaim with her second album 'What Was Left' and a subsequent ARIA in 2006, she and her family (fellow band member and producer Marty Brown with their three children) are preparing to move to Berlin.
Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu Gurrumul Skinnyfish
Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunipingu, or Gudjik to use his Gumatj nation name, is not one for convention. Formerly with Yothu Yindi and now with the Saltwater Band, Gudjik, who has been blind since birth, plays a right hand-strung guitar left handed, producing a velvety sound that washes over his superb angel like vocals that tell stories from North East Arnhem Land. His guitar is backed by very subtle double bass (note no didg nor music sticks) and additional acoustic guitar and harmonies supplied by several of his fellow countrymen.
