A Tribute to Matthew ‘Dutch’ Tilders

It is with great sadness that we note the passing of Australia’s legend of the Blues, Matthew ‘Dutch ‘ Tilders who died peacefully on Good Friday 23/4/2011. He lost his battle with Cancer but he will not be forgotten. Empire Records wishes to send its sincere condolences to all fans of Dutch and to all his loving friends and family.

Dutch was a great singer, songwriter and performer and has left wonderful original songs and  recordings which will live on. He achieved 50 years of playing the Blues in Australia and while there are many great Blues performers in Australia, he was the greatest and had the biggest personality as a showman. Keep the Faith.

The Funeral service for Dutch will be held on Tuesday 3rd of May at Mitcham Baptist Church, 8-12 Simla St, Mitcham from 11am. No Flowers please but donations to Peter Mac Cancer fund are encouraged.
