AC/DC Fundraising Concert

On February 14th 2007, a rock concert will be held to raise money for a statue. This will be in honour of the late AC/DC singer Bon Scott.

According to an article in The Western Australian newspaper, rock legends such as Rose Tattoo, The Angels and Cold Chisel might be playing as well as some of the newer bands like Jet, Grinspoon and Wolfmother.

It is hoped the concert will raise $100,000 and also attract more that 25,000 rocks fans to this special event. Hopefully I will be one of them!

Got the t-shirt.....

Bon Scott was a member of the band AC/DC. "Bon Scott was born on July 9, 1946 in Kirriemuir, Angus, Scotland where he lived for six years. ... his father, Charles, known to friends and relations as Chick, played drums in the Kirriemuir Pipe Band and performed with the local light-opera company. In 1952, the Scott family relocated to Australia. ... He was the man who brought AC/DC into sharp focus. ... He could make every single fan in an audience of thousands feel like he was performing just for them, whilst also having the ability to make the local pub seem like an arena. He enjoyed life and loved nothing better than giving pleasure to others. Bon died in South London sometime on February 19, 1980. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Kings College Hospital. Bon Scott lies in the Fremantle Cemetery's Memorial Garden in Australia."

One of the highlights of the day-long (6 May 2006) tribute to Kirrie-born Bon Scott, who went on to front the legendary Australian rock band AC/DC, was the unveiling of a Caithness stone slab in Cumberland Close. See Kirriemuir - Bon Scott Memorial Plaque See the article Bon Scott Honoured at Kirriemuir Museum: AC/DC fans across the globe will be delighted to know that at last the man born Roland (Bon) Belford Scott on the 9th July 1946 in Kirriemuir has been honoured. The Kirreimuir Museum is in search of early pictures and photographs of Bon Scott's early childhood in Kirriemuir. If any fan of Bon Scott or AC/DC has relavant information or pictures the museum would be delighted to hear from you.

Ride on.
