BRISBANE-BASED Grammy Award winning band Wolfmother joined forces with Blackstar Coffee Roasters, Marty and Vonney Richards, and West End Community Association’s WECA) Darren Godwell to raise funds in a local Flood Benefit
event in March.

The impressive line-up of artists entertained over 500 people, young and old, in this alcohol-free event in a community that experienced Brisbane’s January floods firsthand.

Auspiced by WECA and sponsored by local traders, Westpac and the West End Uniting Church (Brisbane), the people of West End came together in a celebration of music, dancing, food, great coffee and community.

Approximately $9000 was raised alongside the spirit of the community which can’t be measured.

Thanks go to all the committed community members who made this event a great success.
