New Venue, New Tickets for Gimme That Guitar

Sorry about the late notice about this one, but sometimes I don’t hear about things until the last minute either. But if you’re quick, you can take advantage of the new tickets available for Gimme That Guitar, the tribute show for the late Harvey James.

The extra tickets are a result of the venue moving from The Factory Theatre to The Enmore. The tickets of all existing ticket holders are still valid, but the new larger spot allows more of the guitarist’s fans to pay their respects.

The line-up is incredible, with Sherbet reforming and Aussie legends like Richard Clapton, Renee Geyer, Ian Moss, Jon English, and Dragon also on the bill.

Tickets are a bargain at $65, and the funds raised will benefit Harvey’s family and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Center. They go on sale at 10 am from Gimme That Guitar and the Enmore Theatre.

Gimme That Guitar Becomes Harvey James Tribute

The forthcoming Gimme that Guitar concert, which was to be a fundraiser for the late Sherbet guitarist Harvey James, will now be a tribute show celebrating the music he played and loved.

“This is such a sad time, especially for Harvey’s family,” the remaining members of Sherbet said in a statement. “We were all hoping that he’d be with us for Gimme That Guitar; sadly it was not to be.  Harvey stepped into Sherbet at a critical time, and his stunning talent and infectious personality immediately shone through. After all these years, his wonderful solos still shine. It will never be the same again without Harv. RIP old mate.”

The remaining members of Sherbet will pay their respects, along with musical friends Richard Clapton, Renee Geyer, Ian Moss, Swanee, and more. Harvey’s sons Gabriel and Joshua will play guitar in the Band of Friends, and Gabriel will also take his father’s place in the Sherbet line-up. Longtime Sherbet fan and pal Libbi Gorr will act as MC.

If you want to go and don’t have a ticket you’re fresh out of luck. Tickets to the February 17 gig at Sydney’s Factory Theatre sold out in just two days. If you’d still like to make a donation to Harvey’s family and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, you can do it through the Gimme That Guitar website.
