2022-03-16 06:29:12 Free The Nation Music presents a special private live music event on Saturday 9th April from 2pm – 10pm at an historic venue in Byron Bay, Hinterland, NSW, Australia.

Like many in the Northern Rivers, musicians here have been hit hard by the floods and, before that, two years of cancelled gigs and overreaching government restrictions. This special day provides paying gigs for local musicians directly impacted by the floods, and will help lift the spirits of the whole community.

Profits from this day will go to locals in need, and full disclosure of funds donated will be published on FTNM socials.

ARTISTS INCLUDE:

Rachel By The Stream
Matty Rogers Band
Lucius Borich (COG)
Matthew Armitage
Ben Mitchell Band

PLUS MORE!

Tickets available now!

PS. A handful of early bird tickets at $50 instead of $70 (normal price) available for a limited time. Kids under 12 free.

2022-03-14 02:08:07 I stand with mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.

Borders don’t limit my love.

And whatever the TV story is I’m pretty confident it’s not the whole story. More than likely a lie too.

Love,

2022-03-13 11:05:35 The first gig I did after moving from Healesville to Mullumbimby was at my friend, Irene’s house.

I offered to come play a few songs at her place where she had her Gelato bus set up, around the time the corporate governments were trying to control every aspect of our lives including how we should gather and share music.

Irene and I reckon that’s up to you.

You have the right to choose where you go to listen to some music and maybe have a nice ice-cream or some cake—or whatever you want.

So when Irene’s home in Mullumbimby was flooded recently it reminded me of that gig I did, where a bunch of freedom loving folk got together to share community.

Yesterday, thanks to your generous donations, I was able to hand over an envelope of cash as a contribution towards Irene rebuilding her home, which as you’ll see in this video, was hit hard by the flood.

Big thanks to: Cara M, PA White, Nicole H, Danielle K, Katrina L, Marianne, Christopher G and Rosa V. Your generosity is very much appreciated. Open / Comment

2022-02-24 23:46:14 When the Australian state governments implemented double-jab-only entry 'mandates' to music venues last year we took to the streets of Mullumbimby, NSW to play music for everyone, no exclusions.

On Saturday 26th February 2022 we're playing live in Melbourne.

No discrimination.

All love, respect and choice.

Ben Mitchell

PS. Since this video we have many more musicians standing up for freedom. Over 320 and counting!

2022-02-24 05:07:45 Very excited about Tom Barnett's new platform, Heal Me. I joined up today to get censorship-free info on empowering physical and spiritual ideas and practices, including common law/natural law and so much more.

My first impression is that Heal Me is what Facebook might look like if it was focussed on uplifting and empowering all, with all knowledge available. It looks perfect for anyone ready to take responsibility for their own health whilst being open to ideas from countless experts in their fields.

They are currently offering a FREE 3-day trial and after that it is only $100 yearly.

Check it out here: https://www.healme.health

PS. I'm not getting a kick-back from this endorsement I just reckon Tom is great and the platform looks awesome. Open / Comment
