40 Hour Jammin LITE - 25 September 2 - 10pm
Due to the challenges of snap lockdowns, border closures and buyers’ hesitancy we have decided to cancel the 2 day 40 Hour Jammin event in September, and instead run a LITE version of the event on 25 September 2021 from 2pm at the Kendall Permaculture Farm with local artists.
This is a fundraising event for MND & ME Foundation (20%) and participating artists (60%). The remaining 20% goes towards running the event.
Tea, coffee, chai, cakes and a light dinner available by donation. Drinking water is also available. This is a smoke, alcohol and drug free event.
Tickets are a minimum donation of $40 (but it would be incredibly appreciated if you could contribute more according to your means, thank you!) If you have trouble paying this amount please send an email to info [at] permeco.org, we would like to support our community!

Nizami, Kin Kin’s world fusion dance band, will have their album launch at the Cooran Hall on Saturday October 23rd! They will perform 2 sets, with a bunch of new pieces they have been working on performed for the first time!
The launch will be live streamed from 6.45pm (7.45pm AEST - daylight saving) on Saturday 23 October. To support the band, please pay $10 to watch the livestream.
We look forward to celebrating our album release with you! Please note you will be emailed the link, the link will remain active if you would like to watch it again another time.
