The concert will be a night of closure for Barry and the Benning family; a night of reconciliation for the community and an unforgettable evening for tourists and country music lovers.
The Boab Festival Committee Have generously offered to host the evening for the many musicians who will pay tribute to the Benning Brothers.
In the early days Slim Dusty toured with them and they were often contracted to play for Mount Gibson and other mining companies around Derby and the Kimberleys. Tirelessly promoting the Benning Brothers and Aboriginal music, Barry helped establish Barkley Regional Arts and sat on the Australian Council Of The Arts board as well as mentoring many new generations of musicians. Throughout his life Barry has had made a huge impact on the Indigenous music industry in WA and the NT which earned him the OA. Please follow this link to more information about the history of the Benning family and the famous Benning Brothers:

Transportation and expenses for Roy Smith to drive to Derby from Katherine and professionally
document and edit the event.
Transportation for four musicians to play on the night who live just outside Derby.

The family is also looking for an investment that would allow them to print and sell Benning
Brothers t-shirts, CDs, and a commemorative program of the night filled with stories and
photographs of the Benning Brothers past.
