When the call came that Uncle Fester had fallen on very hard times due to battles with diabetes & kidney failure, it wasn’t long before his mates in the music business were rallying together to throw him a life line.

Fester, front man for the Fester Fanatics for well over ten years has also worked with many of Australia’s iconic rock bands such as Rose Tattoo, Screaming Jets, Killing Time Canned Heat, Mass Appeal, Mortal Sin, Hard Ons just to name a few. Fester is also a good friend to many more Australian & International Artists.

To help a brother in need there will be a benefit held on Saturday March 5 at the Espy Hotel, St Kilda, Melbourne. Bands confirmed so far are Rose Tattoo, Electric Mary, T.H.U.G, The Fester Fanatics All Star Band and many more guests still to come. MC and performing for the night will also be Dr El Suavo. Memorabilia and other items will also be auctioned on the night.

Bands and all associated will be donating their time for free to help such a great cause. All monies raised will go directly to Fester to help with mounting bills and medical expenses.

Festerfest, Saturday March 5. Tickets $25+ booking fee from www.espy.com.au and all Oztix outlets.
