  • EaHH: And the Australia Day Concert draws to a close.

    My god the last couple of days has just been incredible. 48 hours straight of musicians and performers from around the globe coming together at B&B’s to help raise money for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal as part of EaHH!

    I was just blown away. At one point, the sim was packed out with 54 avatars (though I couldn’t be there for the whole thing – it might have been more!). I wish I could have been there for the whole thing. Stupid computers have a way of blowing up at the most inconvenient of times, don’t they?

    A very special and heartfelt thanks to Bundy Xue, who organized this incredible concert. Without her organizational skills, music connections, incredible hosting ability and passion for the cause, the Australia Day Concert could not have happened. A big thank-you also to the whole B&B’s crew – they were there the whole time, making sure that everyone was enjoying themselves and encouraging people to donate. Last of all, thank you to the musicians and performers who dedicated their time and their talent to raising money for the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal too.

    Thank you so much!

  • EaHH: The Australia Day Benefit is on the Horizon.

    Are you ready for a full 48 hours of live entertainment to benefit the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal? I am!

    When I started arranging Extend a Helping Hand, I thought to myself, ‘Sheesh, I hope a couple of people say yes to me and get on board…’

    I hardly could have thought that just a few weeks later, Extend a Helping Hand has raised in excess of US$4800, with still one of our biggest events on the horizon. I have been utterly blessed to have a great group of people around me jumping on board and turning Extend a Helping Hand into something beyond my wildest expectations.

    Bundy Xue of B&B’s is one of the people who leaped at the chance to help out, by offering up their beautiful venue and expertise in musician co-ordination. Australia Day will be one to remember, as B&B’s sets the stage for back-to-back live music every hour of the day from 12:00am on the 26th of January right through to 11:59pm on the 27th. That’s 48 hours of incredible LIVE music!
