One of Australia's finest folk and roots duos, Ash Bell and Sara Tindley, will perform live at the Lennox Head Cultural Centre on Friday 18 November 2022.
The event will raise funds for the Sierra Learners Association to help underprivileged children in West Africa.
Sarah King, Founder of Sierra Learners Association, is proud to bring the event to Lennox Head and said "All proceeds from the event will help provide quality education for underprivileged children in schools and communities through libraries and scholarships in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Funds also help us to engage the services of young capable women as library teachers to support the children with reading".
"It will be a wonderful evening of music that we hope will result in a big boost to our fundraising efforts, especially after losing so many books in the Lismore floods that were destined for the children in West Africa." added Sarah King.
Ash Bell and Sara Tindley are two of Australia's most celebrated singer/songwriters. Together they form a timeless folk and roots collaboration born of tough love and deep humanity, their music is very moving. Renowned artists in their own right, Tindley with four highly acclaimed studio albums, and Bell the former front man of Starboard Cannons, a festival favourite. Supporting them is the sublime Sylvie Millard, performing a soulful set of original songs.
Sierra Learners have been supporting communities in Sierra Leone since 2012 by providing books, computers and libraries. When the project started about fifty percent of young people could not read or write. Sierra Learners provides educational opportunities for children who would otherwise be left behind.
Tickets are just $25 plus booking fee and children under 16 are free. Tickets to the fundraising event are available online, please visit communityspaces.com.au/tickets
