HI! Chris Holland here.
I am a professional didgeridoo player, author, storyteller, nature connection & creative outdoor learning practitioner based in Devon, but travelling nationally and internationally.
Through my work some people label me as an “Environmental Arts Activist.”
Since COVID 2020 I am keen to reduce my carbon footprint and deliver online assemblies & performances where possible.
In 2019 I was lucky enough to feature on Yolanda’s Band Jam and My World Kitchen on CBBC, and in 2020 on BBC Radio 5 live.
Playing didgeridoo connects me to my breath, the rhythm of the moment and the place I am playing in.
I think it is such an ancient and earthy sound.
I am reminded I am part of Nature – it’s one of the reasons I like playing and teaching so much.
I have provided hundreds of didgeridoo and Australia topic workshops in schools since 1999.
I have been given the Aboriginal name Daku, it means ‘sand hill’ in the Dayari language – which I think was amazing, because the person who gave me the name lived hundreds of miles away from my home, and had never been there… and there is a round sand hill just behind my house!
