Duke Vin and the Birth of Ska
Duke Vin and Count Suckle arrived in the UK in 1954 and Duke Vin would soon set up the first sound system in the UK. They brought with them a sound that was sweeping across Jamaica and would later change the face of music in the UK. This was the sound of Ska!

The Galah and the Bearded Dragon
Working as a film facilitator on this project, I helped the students at Wilcannia Central School in outback NSW make this short film. Based on a dreamtime story, Kilapa Wura Kaani, this film is told in the Paakantji language and I’m very grateful to the elders for the opportunity to tell this story in their language.
Thanks also to my colleague Lou Glover, the staff and students of Wilcannia CS and the Wakakirri Festival for permission to reproduce the film.
