A program of live music events will bring flood-impacted communities together as a show of strength and support, as they mark 12 months of recovery and rebuilding.
Acting Minister for Creative Industries Ben Carroll today announced more than 30 live music gigs in country pubs, regional halls and community venues across regional Victoria, through the Live Music for Flood Recovery Program.
Among performance venues will be Pyramid Hill, Boort, Newbridge and Bridgewater for the Whole Loddon Love tour.
Acting Minister for Creative Industries Ben Carroll said:“This new program of gigs and festivals will continue to bring people together to celebrate their community and provide a boost to local businesses.”
“Victoria’s flood-impacted communities have shown incredible resilience over the last year, and we have already seen in places like Seymour and Shepparton how live music events can uplift, connect and support communities as they recover.”
Music Victoria CEO Simone Schinkel said:We’re so excited to see an incredible array of community-led events taking place all over the state. These events will provide a place for people to gather, reconnect and enjoy live music, which is such an important part of the recovery process for these communities.”
