I am no fan of Gary Barlow but one thing i can respect him for is his song writing. but watching the programme of the making of the jubilee song that i watched against my will, also showed his love and understanding of music. i was glad i watched it. had i not i may never have come across australian singer songwriter Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu who was born blind. such a haunting voice, beautiful guitar play, and i must say, eagerly waiting for the delivery of his records along with a 12" single. People may have heard his stuff before on here if they are into world music, but if you have not heard of him, seriously worth checking out.

He plays drums, keyboards, guitar (a right hand-strung guitar left-handed) and didgeridoo, but it is the clarity of his singing voice that has attracted rave reviews. He sings stories of his land in both languages and English.

Spot on what a superb haunting voice and your correct, well done Gary on enlightening the world.

In 1972, Roy Bergiers scored that try and said "that was for you lofty"
