Musicians join forces to ‘Disrupt Burrup Hub’ in music and poetry fundraising event

Local environmental organisation Disrupt Burrup Hub will present an afternoon of music and poetry from some of Perth’s best talent at Vinyl Café on Sunday, January 14.

The event will feature music from Abbe May, Nick Allbrook, Peter Bibby, and The Heartbreak Sisters, plus poetry from Patrick McCarthy, Sam Bloor (Mood Punch), and more.

The event seeks to raise funds and awareness about Woodside’s Burrup Hub project in the Pilbara. Described by Disrupt Burrup Hub as a “disaster for climate and culture,” Woodside has plans to expand its gas facilities and pump billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Known as Murujuga to traditional custodians, the Burrup Peninsula contains the largest and oldest collection of Aboriginal rock art in the world, which is said to be under threat from chemical emissions from the project.

Disrupt Burrup Hub goes down at Vinyl Café on Sunday, January 14, 2024. Tickets are on sale now from humanitix.com
