Camp Cope, Mo’Ju & More To Play Returning ‘A Carry 4 Coins’ Benefit Concert

Fundraising initiative and benefit concert A Carry 4 Coins will make its return early next year with a talent-packed local line-up that features Barkaa, Camp Cope, Emily Wurramara, Mo’Ju, Tia Gostelow, WAAX and more.

The annual event from Point Blank Group (fronted by Miss Blanks) focuses on a different cause each year, with the 2021 line-up supporting Black Rainbow, an organisation and social enterprise in pursuit of the health, wellbeing and suicide prevention of the national Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander LGBTQIA+ community.

A Carry 4 Coins 2021, taking place at Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall on 5 February, will also be raising funds for an undisclosed collective of heroic Transgender Women of Colour working within their community to raise funds for gender affirmation surgery.

"Point Blank Group are so excited to see the return of A Carry 4 Coins in 2021,” Miss Blanks said. 

“This initiative has been a great example of story-telling, togetherness, community activation, and the power of humanity. When David (my business partner) and I started this event, it was us in the living room ordering dinner and texting mad friends like Kaiit, Sampa, Kira, and others to be part of this event. We couldn't stand by while we were seeing our community suffer from such a tragic event.

“Fast forward nearly a year, we're plagued with the impacts of COVID-19 which has disproportionately affected Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, Poor people, LGBTIQA+ people, Disabled folk, Sex Workers, and many other people not represented and cared for on a social, governmental, or industrial level. I'm so excited for us to be launching A Carry 4 Coins 2021 and announce the annual event with many editions to come. It’s so important to us to help provide relief where possible so that as a community we can all feel supported, protected, seen, and heard.”

A Carry 4 Coins 2020, which took place at Max Watts Melbourne last February, raised over $24,000 for those affected by the 2019/2020 bushfires with 100% of profits divided between Firesticks Alliance and Mogo Aboriginal Land Council.
