MICK Trembath has gigged in many of the places engulfed by fire across Victoria and the nation this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these towns that are mentioned on the news and in the paper, they\u2019re not an abstract for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lived and worked there, gigged there, had friends there. Their communities have been devastated. The high country, the horses, the cattle, all through East Gippsland… It\u2019ll be just decimated.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it only took minutes for him to join the line-up of the Ballarat\u2019s Best for Bushfire Relief <\/a>concert, ready to rock the Ballaarat Mechanics\u2019 Institute tomorrow night, Friday, 17 January from 5pm until late.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m on board for this because these places are real to me,\u201d Trembath said. \u201cAs musicians, we roll all over the state… We become part of people\u2019s lives and suddenly all of your friends across the country are in trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything we can do to help the people we meet, the people we love and communities we love, we\u2019re just completely on board. It comes down to community and solidarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"
Fun for fire: Pianist, Zara Jarvis and guitarist, Mick Trembath will play and sing at Ballarat\u2019s Best for Bushfire Relief, coordinated by BMI\u2019s Sam McColl.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He said it\u2019s an honour to be a representative of the generous musical and artistic community in such challenging times.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf these bushfires are to be the new normal, then that support has to be the new normal, and being a musician, it\u2019s wonderful to see so many people in your industry, without a second\u2019s hesitation, come and play at a gig like this,\u201d Trembath said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to keep your spirits up, we\u2019re in for the long haul. Everyone\u2019s feeling pretty grim, but it\u2019s ok to come and have a good time, a fun night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam McColl, BMI\u2019s venue and facilities coordinator expects attendees to naturally flow in and out of the Institute at different times throughout the night, which will allow for more people to grab a ticket at the door.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf people do rock up without pre-booked tickets and they want to come in, we\u2019ll probably allow that as long as the space isn\u2019t full to capacity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make sure as many people can experience the night as possible and we can raise enough money as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re coming, bring some extra cash and change. We\u2019ll have buckets going around, auctions, giveaways, and Bryce Ives who is MC will be doing so much to make the night fun and get the cash rolling in.\u201d<\/p>\n
