Pretty sad news,one of the nicer products of the Northern Territory,brilliant talent,I had the pleasure of meeting him over 30 years ago at Yirrkala.

Can't agree more. A great role model for young indigenous people - first person in the NT to get a university degree, first indigenous principal of a school, and to top that off, one of the first groups to combine an indigenous sound in a ver contemporary way. A talent sadly lost at a young age.

Happily there is still a lot of talent left in his family,his nephew is very good in his own right,his performance with Delta Goodrem last week on Channel 9's The Voice was pretty nice,I enjoyed it.
