Alan Dargin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alan Dargin is a didjeridoo player from Arnhem Land, Australia. He started learning the instrument at age five, being taught by his grandfather. His signature instrument is over a hundred years old and is made from an extinct species of eucalyptus known as the Bloodwood tree.
He has performed on the streets of Sydney and with the London Symphony Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall, as well as many other locations in the United States, Japan, and Europe. He has also had roles in several movies, of which The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert is probably the best known.
Dargin holds a degree in science from the University of Toronto.
