Phil Jamieson’s Magic Castle Raising Money for Headspace Port Macquarie

Grinspoon frontman and all-round good dude Phil Jamieson has put together a fantastic fundraiser night, dubbed Magic Castle, for headspace Port Macquarie. Happening December 13, the musical extravaganza will raise money to support the vital work headspace does supporting the mental health of young people in Port.

Along with a headlining set from Phil, punters will also enjoy music from Byron Bay punk act Mini Skirt, Newcastle singer-songwriter Grace Turner, and Port Macquarie’s own Royal Chant, Genes, and Vena Klymo.

Tickets are $30 plus booking fee, a steal for a night’s entertainment that’s all for a good cause. Get yours at the venue, Panthers Port Macquarie, or Oztix.

Phil Jamieson Hosts Port Macquarie Fundraising Festival

Grinspoon frontman Phil Jamieson has created the Magic Castle Festival, a new music festival in Port Macquarie. The event looks to raise money for local legend and Phil’s friend Lucas “Fruge” Farrugia, who was severely injured in a motorcycle accident later this year.

“To know Fruge is to love him, a generous soul with a raucous sense of humour, complete with many unforgivable tattoos,” Phil explained. “This accident put his loved ones in deep shock, and we just want to alleviate the financial burden of recovery so he can concentrate on the physical challenges, making Magic Castle a not-for-profit event, with all proceeds being directed to Fruge’s medical fund.”

Phil will host the event and introduce crowds to an eclectic mix of artists including three-piece garage band Royal Chant, punk rockers Pelican Itch, hip hop duo Korzdahavoc, and special guest DJs Healey and Starky. The bands will be complemented by taste dishes from XS and Fish Face Taco.

The Magic Castle Festival hits Port Macquarie’s Black Duck Brewery on April 11. Tickets are strictly limited and available from Oztix for $25 plus booking fee.
