Didgeridoo, digerido, dijeridoo, didgeredoo, digeridu… how do you spell it anyway??

Posted: Friday, February 19, 2010 in Articles, Info & Education, News

That is why you can find it spelled so many different ways, such as digerido, dijeridoo, didgeredoo, didgeredoo, didgiridoo, didjerido, digereedoo, didjeridou, diggery doo, dijerido and even more!

A huge thanks to Mark Atkins who dropped into Didgeridoo Breath recently and ran a didgeridoo workshop for the lucky locals!

It was a fantastic workshop, featuring the almighty strengthening technique of playing didgeridoo, submersed in a bucket of water, continuously. I was sweating just watching!

For those of you who are not familiar with Mark, he is an incredibly powerful didgeridoo player. He visits Europe every summer to perform and also run didgeridoo workshops. Mark has some music available also.
