Australian singer and musician Gurrumul has cancelled his forthcoming European performances due to ill health.

London's Old Royal Naval College is the stunning setting for the theatrical and dramatic performances BT River of Music is bringing from Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

During a grand event staged in front of Buckingham Palace, international artists representing each decade of the Queen's reign will perform, with Kylie Minogue and Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu representing Australia.

Gurrumul Yunupingu will be joining a host of stars to perform at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Concert on 4 June.

Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu is not known for speaking. What he is known for is having “the voice of a higher being” according to music legend, Sting, and London felt the full force of it last week at the Barbican Centre in all it's glory.

Tim Martin chats to Michael Hohnen ahead of his European tour with Australian musical genius, Gurrumul, and finds out just who is the man that lives in Gurrumul’s shadow.

The hymn-like quality of Gurrumul's latest album, Rrakala, makes it perfect for a lazy Sunday morning, with songs of family and home, ancestors and intimacy with the earth a reminder of what Australians often miss when abroad.
