Dear Rene,
About a year to year and a half ago we saw you at Eumundi, and were so
moved by your music we bought the Zyan CD Then a few months later we saw you at Brisbane Riverside Markets. Between songs I introduced my son Dylan (your biggest fan). You were kind enough to dedicate his favourite song to him, give him a hug, let us take a pic of you two together and sign an autograph for him.
We then saw you again in Feb. 2005 and you remembered Dylan which meant the world to him. He blushed and was so pleased and proud. Of course we bought your latest cd and adore it! lol

Thanks for adding the human touch it means so much to many...

Namaste

Hello. This is Lynn, Director of large child care centre in Caboolture
(now). I wrote to you a year ago and said how sad i was that you never
performed at the Folk festival.I love playing your music to the children i care for. Well i wrote many letters to the festival body...and then there
you were. Of course it would have had nothing to do with my letters, but i
was thrilled to listen to you at the Chai tent that night. I also listened
to you on 13th at Caloundra. I have a head full of rag dreads, and would
liked to have said hi but was on my way somewhere. I loved the dog sitting
on the pram roof...looks like all the family travel together...
thank you
again for sharing your music...

warm regards...Lynn

Hi!

How are you and the rest of Jabaru? Hope you're all well :-)
I had to write to you after just listening to your album, Zyan. It is
excellent!

While I was in Darwin in June 2004 I often watched and listened to your
music at Mindil Beach market. Me and my friends would stand and nearly end
up being under hypnosis through your music. It is so uplifting yet relaxing
at the same time.

I was so impressed I bought your whole CD collection there and then :-)

Now back home home in England and I often listen to your music. It takes me
to a place I just can't explain. Simply the most beautiful mix of music and
lyrics.

Keep up the good work and take care,

I was recently doing a Wilderness tour of Kakadu and our guide had your
CD's, which I absolutely loved. He directed me to the Mindle Beach
markets and I was blown away when I saw you play live. I bought a CD and
have played it over and over again - I never tire of it. I have a
stressful job in Sydney and I love coming home from work, putting on
your CD and being carried away by your music.

Thank you!!

Hi Rene & Rodger

I was unaware of your tour of Darwin and was at the Parap Markets on
Saturday with my friend. I was lured and enchanted by your music and very
spiritually connected by it as was my friend. We spent quite a bit of time
just listening to you both. Your children are beautiful as children should
be and what a wonderful thing you are doing by having them with you on
tour. I envy you your lifestyle! Could I come and travel with you and be
your nanny?? (Just joking!)
For some reason or other JABARU keeps coming back to me and your first Cd
is one I have looked at many times but have never bought. Obviously it
wasn't the right time and now it has all come together, the name, seeing
you, the music and now I will have all your Cds.
You both obviously enjoy what you are doing so keep up the beautiful music,
the lifestyle, and loving those children the way you do.
One day would love to meet you and did once live at the Sunshine Coast many
years ago. I am a true Queenslander just enjoying another part of our
country while I can.

Will keep in touch
Kindest Regards

Your a great band. Thank you.

I was in QLD in the Fall of 2001 (Spring for me). I listened and danced
to your music at the Emundi market. Took a few pictures. I finally got a
computer again and thought I'd send the note I wanted to send for 3 years.

Wish you could come to the states. Nothing quite like you guys here. I
mean, sure there's plenty of music here, but you have something special.
SO.......... don't know when I can make it back to the Aussie world. But
I sure liked it when I was there.

Warmest Regards,

I'd like to order some of your music soon

gday gday, my name is Trent and my girlfriend (Lee) and her mother (Gail)
are massive fans of yours. Ever since Gail filmed a bit of your live act
at the mindil markets in 2002. She then couldn't stop talking about you
both. She then showed the video tape to Lee and she fell in love. they
then got a hold of you and bought both your albums!!!
I took a good listen and found it mezmerising myself. It would be gr8 if
your tour included Melb, thats were we are.
If I could get on you mailing list for updates on album releases that would be gr8. Are you going to release any of you past or present music on
vinyl??? I am a DJ andwould love to have copies to play and mix. I know a
lot of cats would ask me who is that were did that break come from. I
would be proud to tell them about you.
Talk to you soon good luck with the rest of your tour.

We were visiting Australia form England at Easter this year and stumbled
across you in Eumundi market. We loved the music you were playing and
bought one of your CDs which we played as we toured around - and is still in my car now!
Our 2 boys love your baby gurgling at the end of the CD! Inspired, we even
bought a didge which we carried all aound Australia with us and back home.
We can get the right sound from it but can't sustain it for very long.
Went on your website to find out how to order your other CDs and saw from
your news that Indigo has been born! - so just thought we would send our
congratulations to you all. We are hoping that one day you will come over >to England to perform (you mentioned you played in Oxfordshire once, which is where we live) - so we can come along and watch. Will keep a lookout on your
website.
With our best wishes,

Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2004
Dear Jabaru,

we started our tour through the top end of Australia at 16th of May 2004
with your concert at Mindil Beach in Darwin. What a start! You gave us a
lot of energy with your wonderful music. It was a magical moment,
especially with that congenial dancer (you might remember) and we'll
never forget it. We bought two of your CDs and they accompanied us on
our tour to Broome and back to Darwin again, giving us a good spirit for
the road. We enjoyed them very much and we'd like to thank you for this.
You bring so much joy to all the people, that listen to your concerts
and CDs!
Now we're back in Germany, still listening to your music. I'll check our
CD-stores for your third CD.
I hope everything went well with your newborn child!! Is it a boy or a
girl? We wish you all the best for your whole family and hope to see you
again, somewhere in Australia o our next trip.

Subject: Jabaru not accepted into Woodford Folf Festival
Date: Fri 24 Oct 2003,

G'day,
For months I have enjoyed the street performers 'Jabaru' in Darwin at theMindil beach sunset markets... They play awesome music and besides that,you can see that they really enjoy making music... I have spoken with several people in the audience and they all agreed that Jabaru is a band you have to see and enjoy.

Unfortunately, I understood that the application of Jabaru to play at the Woodford Folk Festival has been denied.... That's really sad news for the people who get there to listen to the performers. In my opinion a festival as the Woodford Folk is a good opportunity for everybody to listen to several performers. Without Jabaru the festival is incomplete.....Hopefully you can change your mind and invite them to play on the festival. You will be surprised and definately not be disappointed.

Regards,
John Busch The Netherlands.....

Greetings from Arctic Adelaide!
I first heard you play over a a year ago down at Glenelg and was blown away. Since then I have been singing your praises to all that will listen. Just came back from 3mths living in Darwin and was surprised and delighted to hear you playing at Mindil. Your music created the perfect ambience for the markets and was truly inspirational. Have enjoyed the last three months going to the markets (and Ski club) to hear you play. Ain't nothing like sitting on Mindil beach watching the sunset, eating some fine foods and hearing your rhythms drifting over the hill. Hasn't been the same since you left.
Anyway, really hoping you come by this way after WA -- I'd love to hear you again and get the one cd I don't have and bring my buddies along for a musical treat! How about Womadelaide!?
Happy travels --

Hi Jabau,
My name is Debbie Paini, my husband and I first saw you perform at the Mindle Markets in Darwin.(the night of the power Blackouts !!!) I felt so connected to your fantastic music. I tried to buy your CDs the next day in every music shop in Darwin. Luckily someone told us you were performing at the Parap Markets Saturday morning. I arrived in time for another great performance and bought all three CDs and a tee-shirt. Your CDs drove us safely home all the way to Kojonup, a very pretty town in the south west of Western Australia. I have played your music to so many people and all are inspired and just love it. Our daughter Shae is 21 and a gifted healer, is also hooked. We feel this spiritual connection and whenever I'm feeling down and missing the road I play your music. Back at work this week, so your CDs have helped !!!!
However I have just checked your tour dates and noticed that you are heading down our way. Would you consider coming to Kojonup to play ? We have recently opened an award-winning Aboriginal Interpretive Centre called "Kodja Place."
Kojonup, home to the local Noongar people for thousands of years where they led Europeans (Wadjelas) to its central feature - a freshwater permanent spring in 1837.Wadjelas settled and Noongars retreated, losing much of their culture.But now in 2003 both groups have come together to share their history in the creation of an award-winning place.
At the heart of this story lies the recognition of the Noongar role in Kojonup history. And the land itself with springs and its special places, a re-discovery of its ecological and spiritual messages for both Noongars and Wadjelas.Website www.kodjaplace.net.au This is no boring museum !!! It is just hands on and so good. We know its special - we have been everywhere else !!!!! I think you would also enjoy the Rose Maze (the story of three women - Noongar,English and Italian growing together) and the parks and garden surrounds of Kodja Place.
Thanks again for your fantastic music and look forward to hearing from you.We do hope you can visit us and enjoy our rural hospitality and friendship.
Cheers Debbie

Hi Rene, hi Rodger,

I just wanted to tell you that I'm enjoying all your 3 CDs very much back home in Austria now. I heard your performance on June 5th at the Mindil
Beach
Sunset Market in Darwin which was just great! I really, really enjoyed myself
there. And when I listened to your music, I couldn't move on to see the
market stalls. I was kind of caught with your rythms. When I came back to
the market on the Sunday after my Kakadu-Tour, it was unfortunately too late.
You had already finished. But I exchanged a few words with you, Rene, I don't know if you remember.

I just wanted to wish you all the best for the future. And let me know if
you ever come to Austria (it is a very beautiful country!)

All the best,
Claudia

hanging on the flow of the beat. I was totally mezmerized by your
performance at the Mindil Beach Sunset Market on July 10th. That was my
only night in Darwin, having camped in Kakadu. You made the evening most
memorable. I can't wait till some of the songs you played there come out on

summed up the great energy I recieved during my visit to Australia.

Hi Rene and Rodger,

A big thankyou for coming to Hobart and sharing your music with us. From your gigs at Salamanca to your evening at 'The Venue' (+ a lot of CD playing in between!) your music has left us with lot of fond memories. The depth and feeling that your music brings is inspirational. Unfortunately I'm going to be in Melbourne when you perform your last gig at the market (didn't plan that very well!) however I have organised a friend to pick up a copy of your latest CD for me. (Unless I run into you in the meantime trying to block up our one-way streets again!) Although the weather wasn't always kind, I hope you both (+ the extended family) enjoyed your time in Tasmania enough to want to come back. (Rodger, did you get an offer to swap that block of land?) Wishing you all the very best in your future ventures wherever they may take you. Hopefully back to Hobart one day soon.

Hello beautiful people

Happened to come across your music in Salamanca yesterday lunchtime. I've escaped to tassie, my homeland, from a frantic, exhausting and too stressful time in Melbourne - just for a few days. In your presence and in your music I have found a gift - a spirituality, a generosity, and an openess that has touched me deeply. I bought your Khanu cd - waiting for the next but unfortunately will be back in Melb by next saturday. Hope the gig last night went well - was there with you in spirit.

I've been involed in dance music for about 4 years now both as a raver and a promoter. I think that the style of music is exactly what Tasmania outdoor dance festivals are all about!

Dear Rene,
Thanks very much for the literature that I rec'd yesterday. Was excited to hear that ya'll have recorded a new cd and have been sharing your unique sounds around Australia and the world. I notice that you have not visited the U.S. I can say that I have sent two of your cds "Zyan and Khanu" to the states to friends of mine last year. So the vibrations at out there! My friends loved them and I'm sure it will produce a chain reaction.
Have read over your website (how exciting is that?). I'm stoked in the knowledge that I can keep in touch with your performance dates. I first heard you at the Eumundi Markets last year, bought both cds, ended up giving them away to friends in the states and you kindly mailed me two more. Thank you for that.
Living in Central Queensland (between Bundaberg and Gladstone) the opportunity for live music is far and few between. Particularly your style. I find it very soothing, healing, uplifting and spiritual. A very warm and fuzzy feeling!!!!!!!!!!
If you are ever up this way please plan a stay for ya'll will be welcome with open arms. We have a beautiful beach called Agnes Water, that you would find quaint, living on the Sunshine Coast as you do. I actually live in Miriam Vale, on a cattle property that my husband and I run, have two children 11 and 14 yrs old. I have a good friend who is the coordinator for the "Miriam Vale Community Developement Group" who would absolutely love to organize an event showcasing ya'lls talent. Keep it in mind........

Keep up the good work.

Hi Rene,
Wouldn't remember me, but I sure remember you guys from the Cotters Market last October. I bought both your CD's after my daughter (13-months at the time) couldn't unglue her eyes from you for the whole time we listened to you guys play. It brought tears to my eyes.

I was really disappointed we couldn't get ourselves organised to go the Yungaburra concert. And didn't even realise you were back in town in November, so missed again. But, instead, I have played "Khanu" almost everyday since then! Our daughter really loves it when I try(!) to keep up with the music in "Ishatee" on my recorder.

I heard about the cases of malaria on the news, but it didn't even occur to me it might have been you guys! Hope Rodger's recovering well. Best of luck with your touring, and life in general, and maybe we'll get up to Yungaburra this year!

Can't wait to get a copy of your new album.

How are you doing guys???
We can't stop listening to your 2 CD's and let our friends enjoy of your delightening music. On top of that we have 30 minutes recorded on our camera that values GOLD!!! What a party man!!!! Everytime we look at it, our eyes show happiness and our body starts shaking. Now that I am far away I must say that before that night I never cried in a concert, and you made me to.
Your music made us feel something never felt before and came from very deep in our heart. We will never forget that night!!!!!!
Myriam and I are working on some Lyrics in Spanish for your Latin rythm song in Zyan Album (sorry, but I can't remember the name).
When are you coming to play in Spain??? You would turn us crasy with a concert such us in Airlie Beach. I have a friend that owns a disco (techno, trance, tribal music) and would be the best place to play. We look forward to hear you and this amazing digeridoo sound.
Down Town Barcelona there are plenty of streetbands playing. There are a couple of East European girls playing Hammer Dulcimer. The sound is good but is not Rene's.
I enclose some pictures to refresh your mind about us.
Thank you for make our trip unforgettable.

Hello I would just like to say that you two folks are an incredible couple and are most certainly gifted with your music and singing abilities.
My daughter Nicole (23) and myself happenned to be in Freemantle on Saturday 31/5 and saw and watched you both playing outside the Sail & Anchor to the crowd you had drawn, ourselves amongst them. We were both mesmerized by your music which we could have listened to all day.
I was fortunate to purchase your 2 CD's and am proud to say that I play them all the time. My favourite though is Jabaru (Zyan) and I must say your lyrics and music hold much depth and meaning.
It comes to pass that you are very spiritual people and that spirit is certainly watching over you and your family.
I trust that the opportunity may arise again one day to allow myself and other fans to listen to your music should you happen to travel down this way again in the near future.
I know in my heart that we are all blessed by spirit and that each day holds new beginnings for us all. may we all keep in touch with Mother Nature and continue to grow and learn from her and give back just as generously as we all too often do in taking.
May we maintain balance and harmony both in the physical and spiritual realm and may the light shine on us all.

The music will always remind us of the fabulous holiday last year and has become our road music theme. Perhaps we will return, or better still you may be planning a trip to our side of the world: let us know, Frey will be waiting to meet you at the first gig...

Maybe all those Victorians are finding out who you are, but we up here in
Qld already KNOW and want you back. I so love to hear your music and have
all the cd's..through Tribal Trance to Zyan and Khanu.

I go to Eumundi every week to have djembe lessons with Kerrie (steve's wife, Eumundi Drums), and miss hearing your music. I am the Assistant Director of a large daycare centre at Ningi (close to Bribie Island) and play the music to the
infants and toddlers as well as the older children. It's diverse qualities give them the opportunity to experience a part of culture they normally miss. (Grey Gums Child Care Centre). Maybe one day they will have that opportunity, but for now your music is food for their souls....and most certainly for mine.

P.S. Hope your precious boys are travelling well.

Hey,
My name is Liz Dennis and I heard your music for the first time on the weekend at Glenelg S.A. and i have to say that it blew me and my friend away!!! We were dumbfounded by the amount of talent that you guys have!!!

For ages i have been trying to find a new original type of music that isnt
anything like what is on the charts these days and since buying 'KHANU' i have accomplished it. I have also found that your music sooths my mind and
relaxes my body. I listen to it when i am doing my homework and it is
unbeleivable!!! I can concentrate.

This is excellent because i am doing year 12 and i need stimulation when it comes to homework. Your music is totally unique and i feel blessed that i own a copy of your brilliant music. Thankyou.
Love Liz

P.S. please email me back!!!!!!!

To Rene & Roger... and Children and Friends,

Thank you for your warmth, conversation, and excellent musical renditions of
our place, our land, this earth. Our Dreaming is pleased, and my hope is
renewed...

I was honoured and uplifted to hear you play in Rundle Mall (Adelaide) and
again at Glenelg (this time with my elder (anglo/afro/australian friends).

May the Good Spirit be with you and yours as you journey to the West...
enjoy Cactus Beach, the desert, the surf, the sacred spaces... the setting
sun....

Oh yeh, the Khanu CD is great also, another unique addition to my
collection
... Thank you & call again... All-ways welcome.

Hi there
I saw you guys for the first time at the Red Hill Market last week -
fantastic. Your music incorporated such a variation of instruments and
sounds. My first thought was my kindergarten group will love to hear your
music, so a CD I'II be purchasing.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi, you guys were in melbourne about a week ago and I happened to go
into the city for some unknown reason , it was my day off and the last time
I went into the city was months and months ago, And I just want to let you
guys know that I heard you in the street and I got Khanu. I love it
especially dreamtimes, I can't explain it in words. but thanks..
