It will be a party with a purpose, with 10% of profits going to the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation.
In early September this year, legendary American singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett succumbed to a rare form of skin cancer aged 76.
Devastated fans dubbed ‘Parrotheads’ from around the world including Australia have been left overcome with disbelief and grief as Jimmy had continued to actively tour up until mid this year despite his brave four year battle with Merkel Cell Carcinoma.
In order to honour this legendary musical icon and offer fans and music lovers an opportunity to ‘keep the party going’ – a special Jimmy Buffett ‘Parrothead’ event will be held at ‘The Shed’ (Banana Bender Pub) on Friday November 3.
This Jimmy Buffett Party (with a purpose) will not only celebrate the life and songs of this much-loved entertainer, but aid in the fight against skin cancer.
10% of the profits from the evening will be donated to the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation. Live music will be provided by Latitude 24; Australia’s ultimate Jimmy Buffett tribute band. Once dubbed by Jimmy himself as “Australia’s greatest Jimmy ‘BLUFFETT’ band, this event will also feature two support acts making for a fantastic night. Tickets cost $38 and are available through EventBrite. The venue is licensed and meals will be available to purchase. Doors open at 6pm, 73 Frizzo Rd, Palmview Qld
