Anzac Day has long been a significant day for Australians and New Zealanders honouring the sacrifice of those who fought on the front line in our defence. In the morning we gather at dawn in remembrance and throughout the day celebrate the freedom fought for with footy games two up at the local pub BBQs with family and friends as well as concerts and community events.
On an Anzac Day like no other the Australian and New Zealand music community will join together to pay its respects and celebrate the mateship between two great neighbouring nations. While recognising and acknowledging the Anzac message we also turn our attention to those that are currently fighting on the COVID-19 front line and say ‘Thank you.
