Thanks for this Helen -- I had never heard of Archie Roach till I visited my college friend in SA a few years ago, they took me to WOMAD and Archie was one of the performers - it not long after his wife/partner had died, they had an empty chair on the stage for her.
Later that evening he was interviewed in a more intimate setting with a Q&A to follow; we got a chance to learn more of this great and passionate man, his songs, his culture - - and his connection to Scotland!
I wish I had known about him years ago - - and I wish he was over here for longer that the two Fringe performances. I think he has been at L'Orient, don't know if there are any other gigs / festivals in this part of the world? really hope he returns some day.
