Uncle Kiddo plays chromatic harp. He's one of the fathers of the 'Broome Sound'. His life story reflects the wild side of this West Australian town, the hard and dangerous work in the pearling industry, the history of exploitation and segregation but also the strong sense of community. His music reflects Broome's unique cultural mix of Aboriginal, Japanese, Malay, Filipino, Indonesian, Chinese and European people. It's a sweet-sad sound that's likely to bring a tear to your eye. It's also made Uncle Kiddo a vital and positive force in the lives of younger generations.
