In 2010, we hit up the famous Byron Bay Bluesfest with two guitars and a mission to support the Tibet Refugee Centre in Dharamsala. (One guitar from the Bluesfest project was auctioned for Cystic Fibrosis - please see that page for more info)
We soaked up the beautiful atmosphere and the amazing music. Backstage we were showered with the support and love of the performers over what can only be described as five days of epicness!
The guitars were signed by:

Angus and Julia Stone
Avett Brothers
Bela Fleck's African Project
Blue King Brown
Buddy Guy

The guitars will be auctioned online shortly and all funds raised will go to the Tibet Refugee Centre in Dharamsala.
A big thank you to all the musicians who signed the guitars and to Kosmic Sound in Perth, WA and Beat Industry on the Central Coast, NSW for donating guitars for this project.
