The Medics

Both Archie Roach and The Medics have done their communities proud with an amazing display of music tonight, and have probably scored themselves a few new fans in the process.

"A lot of other people are working and helping the band move along now – there’s a lot of other people in the mix."

“We’ve got some friends who have made the move. Everyone kind of eventually moves out of Cairns. There’s a few people who are still there, but a lot of the musicians and artists usually move away.”

"The music scene [in Cairns] is… not non-existent, but there’s really a lot of cover bands and there’s a lot of metal bands. Don’t get me wrong, some of the metal bands there are okay, but there’s just not a whole lot of places to play."
