Shane Howard

Watch Goanna's Shane Howard perform 'Solid Rock' with the Sydney Barayagal choir.

"At this point in history, I can’t be proud of my nation and feel honour bound to return my Order of Australia medal."

"It’s hard to believe that these places, that were the absolute beating heart of Melbourne and Australia’s vital music industry, are now just relegated to fading memories."

"Australia Day is a complicated day and as a nation we have to deal with that and it's become a symbol of division and not unity..."

A cabal of A-list Aussie and Irish musicians will unite for a special series of shows this February

“I ask that my song, 'Solid Rock, Sacred Ground', not be used at such rallies."

Bands will feature at certain shows on the March tour
