Rock for the Red Cross

Giovanni Torre’s band aid project is off the ground:

What: Concert for Iran earthquake victims

When: Friday, 12 March, 8pm

Where: Hyde Park Hotel

Who: Adam Said Galore, Snowman, The Tigers, more

Why: Because the victims of the Bam earthquake need your help: “On December 26 2003, a major earthquake registering 6.3 on the Richter Scale hit Iran’s south-eastern province of Kerman. The area most affected is the ancient city of Bam where 30,000 people are reported to have been killed, an estimated 30,000 injured and 75,000 left homeless. More than eighty five per cent of houses and buildings have been destroyed and are beyond repair.”

The Hyde Park Hotel will provide the venue for free, the bands will provide the entertainment for free, and the organisers are setting the whole thing up for free. Every last cent of your ticket price will go to the Red Cross for the benefit of the earthquake victims.

If you live in Perth, you must attend.

The people of Bam need our help.
