was interesting watching the stage crew unveil Xavier Rudd&#8217;s setup. I&#8217;m a fan of John Butler, and have been told that since I like him I might like Xavier Rudd&#8230;so I was familiar with him in theory but didn&#8217;t actually know his music. I was expecting him to be another guitarist singer-songwriter, so the large drum, chime and multi-didgeridoo setup had me intrigued.<\/p>\n<p>Then the man himself, barefoot and wearing a woven headband, beaded necklace and bracelet and spiritual\u00a0tattoos,\u00a0came out onto the stage and greeted the cheering crowd with a bow, before taking his seat behind his didgeridoos and drums. If hippies had a pope Xavier Rudd would be a great candidate.<\/p>\n<p>From his image to his songs, it&#8217;s obvious the man is very spiritual; his music includes themes about and based on the Aboriginal people of his Australian homeland and features traditional instruments used together in an interesting way. Some songs were quite standard guitar-and-vocals kinda numbers, but some were more experimental and, at one point, even dangerously close to trance music.<\/p>\n<p>I must confess that while I enjoyed some of it I&#8217;m not a huge fan of the music but it&#8217;s always great to see a world-class performer; he put on a great show.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3
