Whenever there is a crisis in our country, it’s always the musicians, the artists, the comedians, the underdogs and the selfless volunteers are the first ones to put their hands up to see how they can help. 

It’s events like these that make our country world renowned for live music, it’s not just the quality of music we have in our city it's also how we work as a community, music and charity go hand in hand, brothers and sisters help out if you can, donate, volunteer and get out and see as much live music as you can. 

See you on the dancefloor
