Added by Music NT

Description The Bush Bands Bash ’06! was held as an Alice Desert Festival event at the Hub Space set amongst the majestic river red gums in the dry river bed of the Todd River. Becoming part of the Hub Space meant access to higher quality production stage and sound equipment which lifted the performance and profile.

Seven local arts / community workers were employed for the event, and eight Indigenous youth were employed as front of house crew, learning new skills and event management procedures.
