There Is Music In The House
Minister Assisting the Premier on the Arts, Virginia Judge will today host a fundraising luncheon at Parliament House to support NSW musicians who are facing hardship or distress.
The JD Set is HOT this year!
Jack Daniel’s is continuing to support the strength and growth of the Australia live music scene through The JD Set. Giving music fans across the country the opportunity to experience some of the best and freshest live talent that Australia has to offer!
A key element of The JD Set will be involvement with Support Act Limited (SAL) Australia’s Music Industry Benevolent Fund which provides relief and assistance to members of the Australian music industry in need or suffering hardship.
Support Act Limited Presents: "ONE OF THE BOYS"
The show could have been called 'Live and Loud' because that's what it was! On Friday July 24th 2009, the Australian music community performed a benefit show called 'One of the Boys' for Rose Tattoo guitarist & founding member Mick Cocks at the Enmore Theatre.
Music in the House and BridgeClimb
Several lucky prize winners from Support Act's annual Music in the House event were part of a three and a half hour 'Early Twilight' climb along the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge recently. The participants had all won BridgeClimb tickets as part of the MITH function, held annually at Sydney’s Parliament House, and were accompanied by singer Jade MacRae.
Support Act Limited Presents: ONE OF THE BOYS
Rock legends support one of the boys!
Some of Australia's best known musicians have come together to support one of their own, Mick Cocks guitarist and founding member of the iconic Australian rock band Rose Tattoo.
New Board Members Elected
Two new members were elected to the Support Act Board at this week’s AGM, together with long standing Board member, Michael Chugg who stood down and was re-elected. These vacancies were due to the unfortunate death of Billy Thorpe and, after a stint of 10 years, Alex Coroneos stood down and did not stand for re-election.
Tribute
The word Tribute means a gift, testimonial or compliment given in acknowledgment of gratitude or esteem. This seemed a fitting title for the collaborative efforts of some of Australia’s finest musicians, in aid of their ailing friends – Pete Wells of Rose Tattoo and Melbourne’s Lobby Loyde. The music industry lost Pete and Lobby in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
Legends of Rock Dinner raises over $12,000 for Support Act
The first, annual “Legends of Rock” dinner, ably organised by the big-hearted folks from Savage Events, was held last Friday 24th October at The Shores Function Centre in Adelaide where over 250 music lovers gathered to witness a sterling line-up of some of the genuine stalwarts of Aussie rock. Stevie Wright, back by a house band of exceptional local players, sang four Easybeats classics, GANGajang played a set packed with hits including “Sounds of Then” and “Gimme Some Lovin’”; Swanee, Tice & Evans, The Beards and Doc Neeson belted out crowd favourites and Sheridan Stewart held the show together, even though some of us were afraid her dress may not have held her together!
