MySpace a place for friends

Please note that as of Sunday 28 June 2009 the partnership known as Fab4Fundraisers are no longer active.

A big thankyou to everyone who has been a part of it all over the last 8 years.

Please refer to the blog posted on this homepage.

How It All Started

Fab4fundraisers ourselves are just a group of four friends with a love for 60s music “Especially The Beatles” who decided to come together around Christmas time 6 years ago to raise money primarily for cancer related causes.

The plan was to over a weekend do a little fundraiser maybe were we could have several bands on and then donate all the proceeds to Cancer related charity's.

Then maybe in doing maybe help save a few lives that are last to this dreadful disease.

So we decided on the idea of having a Beatles Themed Charity Event.

So the 3 of us Marie, Lucy and Martin contacted a few friends we had who played in various bands and our first event was organised over the weekend of 7 and 8 December 2002.

First Event December 2002

Our first event was organised over the weekend of 7 and 8 December 2002.

On the Saturday 07 December things kicked off with an unplugged session at The Grapes On Matthew Street.

Featuring one of the very first outings of Top George Harrison Tribute – Gavin Pring.

The Finale was the following day when The Prellies toped the Bill for us at The Jacaranda.

Another very strong supporter of our early events was and still is, Chris O'Neil from the film Backbeat.

Who of course as you all know played the part of George Harrison in industry award winning film.

Ever since that date 5 years ago back in 2002 The Jacaranda has become the home of the Fab4Fundraisers Annual Christmas Charity Party.

Then shortly before our 2003 event Eileen Carter came on board with us

We very soon decided to give ourselves a name which people could relate to a bit more, so in 2004 we became known as Fab4Fundraisers.

Fab4Fundraisers continued to host events under this banner for the next 4 years, their final event was held on Saturday 06 December 2008. Hosting and organising thse events over the years was a lot of hard work, but at end of the day it was all about raising vital funds for our chosen charitys.

We never took for granted all the support we got from the bands and our friends who came along year after year to support us. So from the bottom of our hearts a big thankyou to you all.

We hope moving forward that you will all continue to support Martin, Marie, Lucy and Eilleen in any future fundraising activities that they are all individualy involved in.
