Our hearts go out to all of those in Queensland during these devastating floods. At time of print 2/3 of QLD is flood affected. There have already been some great fundraising efforts and it seems the music industry is about to step up to the plate.
Music promoter Michael Gudinski of Frontier Touring has been working on a fundraising event, Sound Relief 2, for the past few days. You may remember the first Sound Relief concerts were held on March 14, 2009 to help those affected by the Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods, raising more than $7 million.
At the recent Channel nine fundraiser, $10 Million was raised, whilst tennis player Andy Roddick raised $10, 000.00 at the Brisbane International Tennis tournament ($100.00 for every ace her served). Soccer player Tim Cahill is auctioning off box seats to an Everton home game and a trip to London and is expected to raise $14, 000.00.
