Victorian Fires

Victorian Fires

Postby bensimon on Tue Feb 24, 2009 1:59 pm

Hi All

Unless you have been living on the moon, you'd know all about the fires that have ravaged parts of Victoria

Does anyone know how this has affected the concert, or brass, banding community? Did any bands lose anything? I have seen some emails regarding band's members that tragically lost their lives on Black Saturday...

Cheers

A very sad time Ben and I understand there is still a big risk of more to come. My half brother in Upper Plenty was missed by about 500 meters.
I have received quite a few photos of the devastation together with a poem called "All I See Is Black". If anyone would like to see them please contact me direct at usATthephillips.eclipse.co.uk (Replace AT with @ My address is written this way to stop automatic address gathering for spammers).
