Business owner and Community man Tony Harrison's Music business was destroyed by a massive fire in Kerikeri, Northland on 24/10/2017.

The building which held all of Tony's equipment and possessions has been destroyed leaving nothing salvageable.

Tony is a key figure in the music and entertainment scene in Northland and is well known for his generosity and support for community events.

He founded the Be Free music and life skills mentoring programme which aimed to steer at-risk youth away from drugs by getting them involved in writing and performing music.

He chaired the trust for 10 years and some of his graduates are carving out careers in music.

He is also a staunch supporter of community events, providing sound and light equipment, and doing the mixing, at heavily discounted rates to non-profit or cash-strapped groups.

Jessica Dromgool's involvement (page creator)

Beau Harrison and myself Jessica Dromgool are involved because we are Tony's children and are fund raising on behalf of him.

Use of funds

Funds will be used to rebuild and salvage The Music Workshop. Any funds raised will go directly to Tony and Lena Harrison to support them during this time of need. He did have some insurance, however it wont cover everything lost in the fire.
