Bay Rains ay Rains’ is a fundraising project to raise much-needed funds for the Australian bush fire victims. Although some of the fires have dissipated, there is so much ongoing devastation to be put right. There will be for years to come, both physically and mentally. We can only begin to imagine the despair and desolation. The idea for a fundraising concert was formulated by Black Sheep Restaurant owner Peta Clavis, Brooke Stinson from Hybrid Blues and Rosemary Balu from Artbop. What better way to have a fundraiser than bringing all our talented local musicians together in one place? To host it in three venues. When Waihī Beach Hotel and The Barrel Room both agreed to donate their venues along with the Black Sheep Restaurant, the three dates were set. The request for musicians and bands to donate their time was met with an overwhelming 30 responses from bands all over New Zealand including Shabang, Electric Universe, Stones in the Ocean, LA Thompson, The Dirty Tones, The Sunny Outlaws, Flava Town, to name a few. On top of these, The Chalkie White Band is coming all the way from Australia. Ticket sales from all three venues will be donated to several causes, including the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, Australian Farming Relief Fund, Australian Red Cross and Beyond Blue. But we need your help to make it happen. 1. Flights for five band members from Sydney to Tauranga (we are hoping local businesses could get on board and donate) 2. Advertising – across all media: radio, television, newspapers, newsletters, social media etc 3. Kids entertainment, e.g. face painting, bouncy castles, kids stage shows etc 4. Sausages & bread rolls for sausage sizzles 5. A stretch tent/marquee for the courtyard at the Black Sheep in the event that it rains on the day 6. Staging 7. Volunteers on the day – on the bbq’s, behind the bar, supervising children’s entertainment, clearing tables etc. Many hands make light work. 8. Product donations for raffles/silent auctions 9. Monetary Donations Thank you to those very generous people who have already put their hand up and donated their air bnb’s for visiting musicians to stay in, and also Lizard News, Mills Reef Winery, Figment Design and The Sun. If you are unable to help with any of the above, please buy a ticket and come along to one or more of the venues and support the events. Tickets will go on sale 1st February and will be available from all venues and through Eventfinda. If you can sponsor, either in part or in full, any of the above, please get in touch with the venues: Peta – blacksheepbarandgrill@gmail.com 07 578 6767; Amy – amy@Waihībeachhotel.co.nz 07 863 5402; Carolyn – info@barrelroom.co.nz 07 578 0603.
