The Wire

Hundreds of people crowded into the small The community of Hermannsburg in the Northern Territory today for the state funeral of legendary country music singer and Aboriginal leader, Gus Williams. Gus, who died earlier this month, was remembered not only as a pioneer of Aboriginal country music – his son is singer Warren H Williams, ….but also as a community leader and land rights activist. Fellow musician Ted Egan was a friend and he spoke about his memories of Gus Williams.
