Vale Archie Roach

[SSwans2011]

RIP. One of the best Australian singers ever, such emotional depth in his vocals, and obviously a fantastic songwriter.

One that I will (and already do) regret not seeing live.

Out at sea at the moment and the last few mornings Archie has been my preferred listening when I go to bed.
Shocked when I found out last night.
