We just saw this fundraiser for our good mate & Sydney FUNK GODFATHER, DJ GRAHAM MANDROULES.

Please dig deep and help out one of our city’s finest, via the fundraiser Link

More from Stephen Ferris:

“Hello, my friend and colleague Graham Mandroules is having an operation today to repair an already broken ankle, replacing pins inserted after a previous incident involving Lucky Peterson’s organ, but damaged after a recent fall.

He’ll need a small amount of financial assistance while recovering from the OP, so I thought a small target would alleviate the risk of falling behind in rent, allowing him to recover and return to playing tunes at some beautiful venues around Sydney without the whole shebang collapsing.”
