I filmed Nicky Dharnmirrwuy in 2004 at a funeral ceremony at Ski Beach (Gunyangara') community in the Gove Peninsula. That video is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rh8LTbv6AANicky is a current yidaki player for the Yothu Yindi band, along with Gapanbulu Yunupingu and Marlangay' Yunupingu. He is active ceremonially and is usually the yidaki player for funerals and initiations at Ski Beach.The yidaki being played here is an amazing instrument made by Bruce Burrngupurrngu and painted by his wife Djul'djul Gurruwiwi. Burrngupurrngu and Djul'djul called me 4 times within the space of an hour to tell me about this instrument, so I knew it was going to be something special. And it doesn't disappoint. The most intoxicating yidaki I've ever had the pleasure of playing...
