STARS UNITE FOR SLIM DUSTY DAY!!!! Some of the biggest names in Australia are behind an industry led campaign to have an Aussie icons legacy celebrated on JUNE 13th by officially recognising the day as NATIONAL SLIM DUSTY DAY. Music historian Glen A Baker said Slim Dusty Day is a day to celebrate our musical heritage. Slim Dusty articulated the very essence of Australia for a great many Australians. Identities from across Australia & around the world have united to pay tribute and support the proposed NATIONAL SLIM DUSTY DAY initiative to be declared on his birth date of June 13th. Stars already backing & supporting the proposal include KEITH URBAN & NICOLE KIDMAN, LEE KERNAGHAN OAM, KASEY CHAMBERS & SHANE NICHOLSON, TROY CASSAR-DALEY, RAY HADLEY OAM, DICK SMITH, BECCY COLE, ADAM HARVEY & Slims wife JOY McKEAN OAM to name but a few. Last year marked a decade since the loss of the national treasure, & Australian identities have continued to band together to voice their support of NATIONAL SLIM DUSTY DAY to ensure his musical legacy continues to be recognised annually. Australians are asked to register their support seeking the favourable consideration of the Australian Government to mark Slims birthday as National Slim Dusty Day. The petition is hosted by The Slim Dusty Centre, a unique community project with national significance, primarily developed as a living museum, governed by a Trust Fund & designed to showcase over 60 years of recording, performing & touring by Slim Dusty & preserving the valuable Dusty Family collection gathered from Australia throughout his lifetime. In support of the National Slim Dusty Day initiative & to assist in the fund raising program for the Slim Dusty Foundation, the stars of country music will again come together for the second annual SLIM DUSTY BIRTHDAY BASH. This event will be held at Rooty Hill RSL Club on Thursday 12th June. Corporate tables & seats for the general public are on sale, & start at $120, which includes a 2 course dinner & drinks. Entertainment will be provided by Lee Kernaghan, Troy Cassar-Daley, Adam Harvey, Anne Kirkpatrick, David Kirkpatrick, Jared Porter, Luke OShea, Amber Lawrence, Aleyce Simmonds & The Wolfe Brothers.
