Busking For Change
Busking For Change is a Charity Event started by Josh Pyke, to be held at The Annandale Hotel on September 2nd 2009. All the proceeds from the event will go to the ‘Indigenous Literacy Project’ (ILP). ILP aims to help raise urgently needed funds to address the literacy crisis in remote Indigenous communities.
Josh Pyke will be performing a solo set on the night alongside other guest performances to be announced soon.
Busking for change is a charity event following up the sale of Josh’s guitar boat which sold for just over $7000 and was donated to ILP. Tickets to go on sale soon. For more details visit http://www.buskingforchange.com.au or the Facebook page.
