Three local Brunswick residents, Bec Klaassen a New Zealander; Amy Mulcahy, a member of the Rotary Club of Brunswick and Lois Sandilands , were compelled to put their personal resources together to create a night of talent, hosted by the Brunswick Hotel, to raise much-needed funds for the city of Christchurch.
"I was devastated to see the destruction and trauma on the faces of the people affected. I felt compelled to try to do something to help. I thought of ways I could help. I know a lot of bands here in Melbourne and people I could approach who would be willing to help. So I decided to organise a gig to raise as much money as possible, to assist in re-building the city and the lives of the people effected." – Bec Klaasen
The Rotary Club of Brunswick, along with Otway Pork to sponsored the night.
