I can certainly feel the affects of the fires this morning. The smoke is thick in the air and my nose is all clogged up. The sun was behind an orange curtain last night and it is all a bit spooky.
The Vagrants will be playing a fundraiser in Bendig at "The Pub" on Friday Feb. 20th. Mammal will be playing also, and Anita Donlon from the Independent Musos Network, and the management of The Pub are all putting in to put the night on and raise money for the people in that area that are suffering.
