Clancy's South West Bushfire Appeal, Ashes To Ashes, Goes Down This Sunday

As we well know, WA's South West was ravaged by fierce bushfires in early January. Some of the state's most vulnerable people have been affected, with many homes destroyed and whole families displaced.

Clancy's Fremantle have gone about helping with a benefit concert on Sunday, February 7. Ashes To Ashes - Clancy's South West Bushfire Appeal will be a huge two-stage event, with over 15 acts performing throughout the afternoon and well into the night. The event will also celebrate the songs of the late, great David Bowie.

"It was a generally sad time when David Bowie passed and then we were hit with the harsh reality of these bushfires in our own backyard," says musician and organiser, Tom Fisher.

"So the fundraiser set out to help the victims down South and we thought we'd show a bit of love for Bowie at the same time. A few acts will smash out a Bowie tune and the DJs will be hammering out all eras of the great man. It just seemed like a cool way to do it."

The line-up includes: Carus Thompson, Junkadelic, Dan Howler, Datura4, Tom Fisher & The Layabouts (duo), Custom Royal, Billie Rogers & The Country Gentlemen, King of The Travellers, Dirtwater Bloom, The Southern River Band, Stella Donnelly, Karin Page, Jay Lee Grafton, DJ Jiminy Kickit & DJ Chet Leonard and Ben Darsow.  It's all yours from 2.30-11pm. Tickets are $25 from clancysfishpub.com.au and Oztix.com.au.
