Bukhu plays the horse head fiddle with great sensitivity, and performs stunning feats with his throat singing. I understand this is not so uncommon in Mongolia, but for most of us present, it was a unique treat. Bukhu has a lovely stage presence and entertained us with a varied performance using traditional and modern technology, and a subtle sense of humour.
Below is a link to Bukhu performing Waltzing Matilda which will allow you to appreciate his talent. Sadly you will not have the benefit of hearing Jeanette sing the first verse unaccompanied - the sweetest and most muscial version I have ever heard.

Bukhu signed the Blue Guitar and handed it to Jeanette after the performance.
And the best part of this is that in Alice Springs it only ever takes ten minutes to get to a venue to see quality performances - 20 mins if you are cycling! :)
