Help Find A Music Venue For The Cerebral Palsy League

Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started Scene Magazine in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford Comma – way too much fun at parties.

The Cerebral Palsy League — CPL — (in Queensland) is on the hunt for an inner-city live music venue. Nothing fancy. Can you help?


The CPL has been running Fusion Of Music once a month from premises in Windsor until just recently, but now that building is under redevelopment. Fusion Of Music is a fundraising initiative of the League, which enables musicians to donate their performance to charity, and for people to pay a small fee to be entertained while also making a donation to the League.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is an umbrella term that refers to a group of disorders affecting a person’s ability to move. It is a permanent life-long condition caused by damage to the developing brain either during pregnancy or shortly after birth. Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood — a person is born with CP every 15 hours in Australia.

The wishlist

• Inner-city/ inner-suburbs venue with capacity for approximately 50 people
• Friday evenings
• Wheelchair accessible (mandatory)
• There is no budget for this programme, so the venue/ room hire is to be donated for one Friday every month
• Enough space to bump in/ out acts
• Basic PA system and speakers able to be stored. Also looking for equipment loan/ doantions
