Joh meets Australian national treasure and music icon Archie Roach on the eve of his final tour of NSW. Since opening for Paul Kelly in 1989, he’s recorded 11 albums, won 8 ARIA awards, been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame and won countless other awards. While his first song detailed his experience of being part of the stolen generation, Archie’s song writing goes well beyond stories of pain and loss. He is full of love for family, love of country and hope for the future.
