Homebake 2009 announces first lineup!

As was once famously quoted by John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) - 'there should be no difference between who is on stage & who is in the audience' and as such becoming a catalyst for the ideology behind the inception of Australia's most famous antipodean festival event, now known as Homebake Music & Arts Festival.

And so Ladies & Gentlemen, with such a profound introduction, it's time to once again announce this nation's biggest local all star event as we celebrate Homebake's 15th anniversary via a great big birthday bash featuring a massive array of the most popular, talented and eclectic artists past, present and future whom have conquered this vast land of ours as well as many nations worldwide.

Each and every year HOMEBAKE embraces a number of charities and causes and despite the 15th anniversary celebrations, 2009 will be no different as we welcome the wonderful (albeit not so well known) organisation HABITAT FOR HUMANITY – being a non denominational, non govt, non profit organisation devoted to building simple, decent and affordable housing for the homeless. Homes are built using volunteer labour and donated materials. HFH have built nearly 300,000 houses around the world, providing more than 1.5 million people in more than 3,000 communities with safe decent, affordable shelter since their inception over 30 years ago. It is most unlikely that these families would have been able to do so on their own otherwise and that said, its astounding to note that a new Habitat home is completed somewhere in the world every 24 minutes!

Habitat seeks to help people caught in a rent-induced poverty trap. Underprivileged families chosen on the basis of need alone, purchase their own homes on no-interest mortgages with Habitat. In their own simple although effective words ‘By creating decent habitat we strengthen humanity, assembling the framework that translates into new lives and new hope, not only for those who will make a home there, but also for those whose labour and love embody the very best in people’. As we commence the many months of promotion for HOMEBAKE 09, we are proud to be aligned with Habitat For Humanity. For further information, please visit http://www.habitat.org.au
