If you haven’t heard of Archie Roach, you probably need to brush up on your Australian music knowledge. Taken from his family in the 1950’s and coached by Paul Kelly into a long musical career, Roach’s songs has been an important inspiration for First Nations’ people and lots of Australian artists.
Support Act have decided to honour Roach at their annual ‘Music in the House’ fundraising event in Sydney at the Ivy Ballroom on Wednesday May 16.
Paul Kelly and his twin daughters – Maddie and Memphis – will be there to perform, alongside Emma Donovan, Tiddas and hosted by Simon Marnie and Rhoda Roberts.
‘Music in The House’ is an event that honours charitable and culturally significant artists, and past honourees have included Paul Kelly, John Butler, Jimmy Barnes, The Sapphires and John Paul Young, among many others.
If you can’t make it to the actual event, there’s a chance to still donate via a raffle. Plus, all the ticket sales go to helping artists and musicians in crisis.
