Walkaboutfish Records are excited to announce that Fijian born didgeridoo and stringed instrument virtuoso Jay Hoad will be bringing his 7 piece band back to the Gov on Friday January 20th. Jay has spent the last six years touring around the globe, following the sun and his inspiration for music throughout the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, Fiji, Canada and North America, keeping up a relentless touring schedule whilst passionately learning about third world culture and every style of music he can sink his teeth into.

The result... A very funky and high-energy show that sees Jay sitting in a cockpit of instruments including didgeridoo, Weissenborn lap steel, dulcimer, dulsitar, guitar, harmonica, ocarina, djembe, percussion, loops, voice and more. This year Jay's band will also include female vocals, trumpet, saxophone, guitar, drums, percussion and more for this not to be missed show. 2011 has seen Hoad focusing his sights on Australia with headliners shows in QLD, VIC, WA and NSW and most recently returning from another Fijian Tour headlining the Uprising Festival in Pacific Harbour. In 2010 Jay was honored to perform with Bob Marley's Wailers on the Northeast leg of their USA tour and has also recently toured with USA super groups Carbon Leaf and the Temptations. This special hometown show will also feature the incredible talents of Babylon Burning and the Fleurieu Rhythm Makers An eclectic sound of global proportions MD News Journal, USA Must be seen to be believed Fiji Times, FIJI For more information please visit: http://jayhoad.com facebook.com/jayhoad myspace.com/jayhoad youtube.com/jayhoad blog.jayhoad.com
