Danny Widdicombe benefit

Overview

The Gin Club, Evil Eddie, Powderfinger's Ian Haug - these are names you most likely know. But one name you mightn't know, but should, is that of Danny Widdicombe. Most musicians tour and write songs while they have a clean bill of health, but unbeknownst to Danny, leukaemia was wreaking havoc on his body while he was away doing gigs in Berlin. His health may have been as its lowest but his spirit and drive to complete his latest, and possibly last, album never faltered. In a completely courageous act, Danny started to compile 'Find Someone' while he underwent chemotherapy, and was helped by some of Australia's best songwriters and musicians. What a great way to take your mind off grueling cancer treatment by focusing your mind on something wonderful and heartfelt. This Friday The Zoo is specially hosting a benefit concert in honour and support of Danny Widdicombe's amazing plight and story. The Gin Club will be headlining the night, and will be joined by Evil Eddie, The Wilson Pickers, Guy Webster, Tylea, with video performances as well as a head shaving event, all MC'd by Ian Haug.

If you need any reason to come and support an amazing man, let it be because 'Find Someone' is actually a quality record and there's some fantastic bands supporting this worthy cause.
