16.01.2022 Ten years since Sound Relief "On Saturday 7 February 2009, the worst bushfires in the history of Australia caused devastation across Australia like never seen before. The effect this terrible tragedy had was felt not only here, but worldwide. Almost simultaneously Queensland was undergoing its own tragedy, with the state experiencing widespread flooding.... In response to our nation's greatest ever natural disasters, Australia's music community, along with some of the biggest music names internationally, banded together for two stadium benefit concerts that ran simultaneously in both Melbourne and Sydney on 14 March 2009 under the unified banner SOUND RELIEF. The final result of over $8 million raised is an achievement that everyone should be proud of. The generosity of the artists involved must again be acknowledged and commended. Thanks should also be given to all the individuals and companies that contributed their time and resources to make Sound Relief a resounding success. There is little doubt in my mind that Sound Relief will long remain one of the most significant events in Australia's rich music history. I will never forget it." Michael Gudinski, on behalf of the organisers of Sound Relief Kylie Minogue performing 'I Still Call Australia Home' at Sound Relief Melbourne
