Neville Thorne (?–?)

Neville Thorne (?–?), musician, was born at Walgett, New South Wales.

In 2005 he was posthumously awarded the Red Ochre award from the Australia Council for his service to the Aboriginal community as a musician and for being a member of the first Aboriginal band to hold a commercial recording contract.
