Ross Wilson, Kate Ceberano and more are set to perform at an upcoming charity event, which will raise funds to build a student music amphitheatre in honour of Wa Wa Nee's Paul Gray.
The amphitheatre will be built at Cheltenham Secondary College, for use by school students and community youth groups.
"As Head of Instrumental Music at Cheltenham Secondary College, I have been moved and inspired by witnessing the positive impact that music has on young adults," said Lisa Maxwell-Cripps.
“I’ve noticed how students flock to the music department since I arrived here. By keeping the music department open during recess and lunchtimes, they always have somewhere to go," she continued.
"But now we are literally running out of space to house everyone and kids are often crammed into the hallways and outside in areas that are cold and uncomfortable. They are bringing all of their friends who love the ‘vibe’ of the music area and just want to be a part of it.
"We wanted to also honour our dear friend Paul Gray from '80s band Wa Wa Nee and musical director to the stars, by building a memorial for him. Paul passed away recently after a long battle with Myeloma."
Joining Wilson and Ceberano will be The Rockmelons' John Kenny, Kids In The Kitchen's Scott Carne, Mack Moses, Franjapan, Sarah Rzek and Mother Culture, who will perform all-star house band Ben Cripps (Human Nature, David Campbell), Nik Pringadi (Boy George, Tina Arena, Belinda Carlisle), Jeff Consi (The Badloves), Gods Of Guitar's Phil Ceberano, Steve Williams (Wa Wa Nee) and Christian Meyer.
The event takes place on 27 October at Cheltenham Secondary College Oval. Head to theGuide for all the info.
