UPDATES: BENEFIT SHOWS IN WA & QUEENSLAND ANNOUNCED; MICK STILL IN HOSPITAL
Needing to leave Queensland for a fresh start in March, Mick said a sad farewell to his beloved dog, Monty, and set off looking for a new home. After a torrid time of several months, Mick finally found a new pad in Newcastle NSW and set about getting back into work and getting on with his life. But within a few days of moving in, disaster struck! Mick was bashed unconscious one June night in Stockton, leaving him with serious head injuries. He is now in hospital and requires a long period of treatment, recuperation and life re-building. Mick faces an uphill battle in retaining his accommodation and is quickly coming to the end of his life-savings after all that he has been through this year. This benefit fund is to lend a helping hand to a man who has made us all more free.
We are also running a great benefit gig on the 30th July at Mojo’s in Fremantle (WA), lineup includes: Ghetto Crystals, Smrts, The Painkillers, LEECHES!, Cavalier & Dan Tilly.
