Chrisfest
22 October 2024
Last month it was an honour to have a whole festival organized for me.
Chrisfest was advertised as a night of music and love raising funds for me and our family, and it truly was just that.
There were so many amazing surprises on the night, The Bads played a cover of The Ramones 'I Wanna Be Sedated', Beth Torrance played a cover of 'Pet Sematary' and Adam McGrath surprised me with a whole set of my favorite songs.
We were also so grateful for our friend Will Saunders who not only played a cracking set, but also designed the event poster, and a bonus Ramones logo style design that we printed on t shirts.
There were so many of you there, and a whole heap of friends and family - we are so pleased to say it was a sold out show!
It was also quite an emotional night, getting to play on the same bill as my son Sam and his band Video Nasty, as well as playing my last live show with Kendall - unfortunately it's not so easy to hold drum sticks any more.
I want to say a huge thank you to Lulu Macrae and Matthew Crawley and the Double Whammy Bar family who worked so hard to plan the event and make sure it went without a hitch - right down to making sure the event was wheelchair accessible. Thank you so much to all of the acts involved!
We received a huge amount of love and care to fill us up and bolster our spirits for the challenges we have ahead. We really feel so supported by our musical community!
