'Music From The Home Front' TV Concert A Hit For Fans & Ratings

The Music From The Home Front TV concert has proved to be a hit with both fans and music lovers all around the country.

The show, put together by industry legend Michael Gudinski in honour of Anzac Day and COVID-19 frontline workers, saw some stand out performances from huge acts like Crowded House, Kevin Parker, Tones & I, a special collaboration and original song from Tim Minchin and Missy Higgins and Birds Of Tokyo performing with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

According to TV Tonight, 815,000 people watched the Nine broadcast in Australia's metro cities and was the fourth most-watched show on Saturday overall.

Speaking to The Music ahead of the concert, Gudinski said Music From The Home Front was "one of the most special things that I’ve worked on in my life".

“This whole thing came about as a brainchild of mine,” Gudinksi told The Music.

“I had to rush because I wanted to make what is the most unique ANZAC Day have an uplifting and respectful ending, so that’s where the whole concept came from. To get it on primetime TV makes it available to everyone and Channel Nine jumped on board.”
