To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Charcoal Lane, I’m looking forward to bringing you a new version of the album, recorded at my kitchen table with Stephen Magnusson and Sam Anning. The re-recorded version of Took The Children Away is out now, with a fantastic new video.
The Songs Of Charcoal Lane will be released on 13 November.

Not many have lived as many lives – from stolen child, teenage alcoholic, seeker, lover, father, musical and lyrical genius, to social advocate and First Nations leader – but it took almost a lifetime to find who he really was.

Now comes Roach’s highly anticipated memoir, Tell Me Why (published by Simon & Schuster), and the 18 track companion album of the same name.
Available now in all good bookstores and at www.archieroach.com

In a voice rich with humanity, filled with joy, pain, love and longing, Archie Roach traces the journey of his people, and gets to the heart of what it means to be human.
He is one of Australia’s most treasured performers.
